Literacy For All readers and related materials were ordered for all six schools on June 22, 2008 by Ed Coombe of Literacy For All. The books, with the exception of two titles which are on back order, are scheduled to be delivered to Literacy For All between September 3-10. The final two titles will be delivered within 3-4 weeks.
Each of the clubs in South Africa, the six schools, and Literacy For All are using a Memorandum of Understanding between all parties, which was developed in prior years by Hout Bay Rotarians for use as they implemented Literacy For All in schools in Hout Bay.
Janey Ball, Newlands Rotarian,is managing public relations for the project with plans being developed for formal handover proceedings at each of the six schools. Dottie Leveque, Ontario Rotary, is in South Africa to assist with the implementation activities. Barbara Coombe, author of the Literacy For All readers, is in the process of scheduling training for all teachers involved in the program at the six schools.

As of this date, all books for the project have been purchased and distributed to each of the six primary schools: Sonwabo, Mkhanyiseli, Sivuyiseni, Zwaanswyk, Steenberg, and Trevor Manuel. All schools are located in the Western Cape. Teachers in each of the schools have been trained in the use of the program by Barbara Coombe, program author, and agreement forms denoting responsibilities for each of the participating entities (specific Rotary club with responsibility for monitoring a specific school; the school principal; and Ed Coombe, representing Literacy For All) have been signed and copies provided to each entity.
In addition, the schools have agreed to share the annual results of National Tests, given in grades 3 and 6, for at least the next three years so that the impact of the implementation of this program may be monitored by the schools, Literacy For All, and the Rotary clubs involved in the Matching Grant.
The use of the Literacy For All program will officially begin in January 2009, the beginning of the new school term in South Africa.
