A “RIF Kid” Remembers

“Myself and two other RIF volunteers recently met a young man who works at one of the new condominiums in Kakaako.  When we discovered he was from Nanakuli we asked him if he had RIF come to his class when he was in elementary school.  

He immediately replied “RIF – Reading Is Fundamental?”  

He had enjoyed RIF in elementary school and we explained we were RIF volunteers.   He couldn’t believe that RIF was still operating and was so excited to be reminded of his enjoyment in receiving the books from RIF growing up.  He let us know that he still had some of those books and to this day enjoys reading very much.

And it was a fulfilling moment for the three of us volunteers to know that our efforts bring such positive results.” – A RIF Volunteer
