We are proud of Tutor John D. and his Adult Learner Anthony Y. who bravery collected the National Volunteer Week Literacy Proposal 2012 from the City of Porterville. We are especially proud of Anthony who wrote the message of gratitude that John delivered to the City Councilmen. This was a challenge to Anthony, and he did a good job.
