“As Rotary recognizes Basic Education and Literacy in the month of September, we are very pleased to have Mr. Sekou as our guest speaker. Promoting literacy and encouraging aspiring authors is one of the many rewarding experiences we foster within Rotary Sunset, and it was a pleasure listening to Mr. Sekou during his presentation, so inspirational, knowledgeable, and very passionate.
