In 1999, Dr. Paul C. Mocombe created the Mocombeian Strategy and Reading Room Curriculum<\/p>\n
for The Russell Life Skills and Reading Foundation, Inc. to \u201ctackle\u201d the high illiteracy rate of<\/p>\n
inner city youth and the lack of educational resources available to them.\u00a0 In 2008, he established<\/p>\n
The Mocombeian Foundation, Inc. as a 501c 3 non-profit organization to teach and provide the<\/p>\n
Mocombeian Strategy and Reading Room Curriculum, Mocombe\u2019s Reading Room Series, state<\/p>\n
and nationwide.<\/p>\n
The Foundation\u2019s Mission is, \u201cTeaching Reading Strategically\u201d with the overall goal of<\/p>\n
eradicating illiteracy among inner city youth and empowering, inspiring and encouraging at<\/p>\n
risk youth to become critical thinkers and close the achievement gap.<\/p>\n
The Foundation\u2019s mission is based on Mocombe\u2019s pan-African communist practical<\/p>\n
consciousness, which emerges out of the Vodou Ethic and Spirit of Communism of his<\/p>\n
Haitian ancestors.<\/p>\n
The Foundation\u2019s program is multi-faceted and combines the following three elements, in<\/p>\n
aggregate, to offer a holistic approach to addressing the problem of illiteracy among inner-city<\/p>\n
youth:<\/p>\n
