Sacred Struggle: The Living Legacy of Unitarian
and Universalist Social Justice

Presented by Harvard Divinity School Senior Lecturer Dan McKanan

On Saturday, October 25, 2008, UUSC will cosponsor a Walk for Literacy organized by Barakat to raise funds and awareness for Barakat’s literacy programs in Afghanistan. According to UNICEF, only 18 percent of Afghan girls and young women aged 15-24 years are literate. Sometimes this means just being able to write one’s name.

Proceeds from Barakat’s Walk for Literacy will support home-based literacy programs, which reach more than Afghan 750 girls and women.
The walk begins at 9 a.m., in Sennott Park, near Central Square, in Cambridge, Mass. Registration begins at 8 a.m.

Anthony Zuba from the Massachusetts Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice will speak on the Welcoming Massachusetts Program.
Followed by a Q&A session.
