KUDOS to EPE's Heather Davis for her successful contribution to development of a literacy grant for UK's chapter of Phi Kappa Phi. According to UKNOW:
"The 'Healing through Reading' project is a nine month, self-care book
club for women and their children who are survivors of domestic
violence and living in a safe house. The project aims to assist women by
improving their literacy skills and providing a space for residents to
connect and discuss monthly book topics that include domestic violence,
unhealthy relationships, isolation and self-empowerment. In addition,
children’s books are provided for residents to read to their children.
The
project is a collaborative effort between UK Phi Kappa Phi (PKP) and
the Bluegrass Domestic Violence Program. In addition to receipt of the
award for the book club, the 'Healing through Reading Project' will be
featured in the winter edition of the Phi Kappa Phi Forum, 'a
multidisciplinary quarterly that enlightens, challenges and entertains
its diverse readers, serves as a general-interest publication as well as
a platform for The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi'.”
