Dear ILP well wishers, donors, volunteers and friends,
We hope you had a relaxing summer and are looking forward to a beautiful fall and joyous holiday season.

In the last issue of our Beacon we directed your attention to all our endeavors through the last couple of decades to bring literacy to millions of children from preschool through college.
In this issue we want to introduce the concept of an effective evaluation system that we want to measure ourselves against.

The suggestions included a zero tolerance policy against bullying and sexual abuse, placement of suggestion boxes for children to put forth proposals under anonymity, and involvement of senior students in Children Protection Committes.
ILP is committed in generating awareness amongst children regarding their rights and responsibilities; they are not citizens of tomorrow but are very much the citizens of today and their issues should have an active representation in the agenda of all policymakers.
