The Seli River Writing Project is delighted to have received a Developing Economy Literacy Project grant from the International Reading Association to support the Young Writers clubs during the 2012-2013 school year! It lifts such a load off our heads to know that some of our expenses will be paid, and we can concentrate on carrying out goals. Read about the award at this page. Hurray for the IRA!

Five Writing Lessons
Five Writing Lessons, a program of the Heritage Writers project, has begun at SELI! The opening unit is Kuranko, and the first of the five lessons took place today at SELI. Thanks to sponsorship from individuals from many parts of the world, we plan to conduct a unit of five writing lessons in as many Sierra Leone languages as possible.
Each class has up to sixteen participants. All should be primary language speakers of the language of any age who have reached or completed junior secondary school, and who are interested in authoring books in their language. The class is offered free of charge.
We are seeking funding for the next stage in the Heritage Writers project, which will support the writing efforts of these would-be mother-tongue authors, and take them onto publication. Exciting, no? Be a part of it by contributing at www.seli.co. Click on "DONATE" to make your payment through PayPal.
