In October last year, The African Reading Club lost all federal funding.

Tom Elliot spoke with Matoc Ashol, the coordinator of the African Reading Club at the time.

Since that interview the City of Yarra along with some very generous donors have come forward to help out.

Kate Mani is a freelance journalist a volunteered at The African Reading Club.

‘We’re talking about reading here, and homework help, for children who english isn’t their first language or their parents cannot help’

You can contact the club through Matoc’s email addres: matoc@africanfoundation.org.au
