Love it! Clever and effective.
Those stats are heartbreaking, really. I expect it is the same in many places. More has to be done.

Yes! I thought it was clever, too, Ms S.
And yes–literacy is so important!

Great idea! And the shirts too, the slogan I mean – I can just imagine people stopping a wearer and trying to set them right re spelling!
