DAYLO is also a pro-literacy service organization where we host and participate in service projects. These projects benefit our community’s literacy engagement, teach students models of servant leadership, and add credibility and visibility to DAYLO’s pro-literacy, anti-censorship advocacy.</span></span></p>
