A Grassroots Approach to Addressing Illiteracy | Roshini Balan | TEDxYouth@FHS

Roshini combines her love of reading with her interest in sharing that with others. She explains specific ways we can fight illiteracy. Roshini Balan, a 7th grader, has been at Flint Hill for the last 8 years and is looking forward to more to come. Roshini has played the piano since the age of three and is a voracious reader and writer. Roshini realizes that both these hobbies, and many others out there, would be impossible to participate in without the skill of literacy. In her talk, Roshini discusses how literacy is not just the one dimensional aspect of learning to read and write, but a complex quest that spans multiple dimensions, and provides a kaleidoscope of experiences as one progresses through life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
