Asia

Our affiliates in Asia form the connective strand that allows ILA to weave a broad and deep network of literacy leaders. In many cases, this network also provides a grassroots local connection for our international projects and a catalyst for activities that respond to their communities' specific needs. Many ILA activities in the region are coordinated by the International Development in Asia Committee. To contact them, e-mail Dr. Namtip Wipawin, namtipstou@gmail.com.
