Tutor with MS views illiteracy as the real handicap - Orlando Sentinel - November 12, 2006
'Rani Merens says that in DeBary she is known as the Scooter Tutor.

The name certainly fits -- Merens, who has multiple sclerosis, drives her motorized scooter to the DeBary Public Library about once a week to tutor Guadalupe Razo, a 32-year-old from Mexico City who is learning to read and write English.

"I believe that a person who can't read in our society is more handicapped than I am," Merens said.

Merens, 51, volunteers through the Volusia Literacy Council. She has been volunteering there for more than two years.

Merens is a dedicated tutor who "knows the meaning of thinking outside the box," said Jonel Persinger, the Literacy Council's west Volusia program director.

A retired preschool teacher, Merens said she has always been an avid reader. She said the most rewarding aspect of volunteering for the Literacy Council is seeing the changes in her students.MORE- Orlando Sentinel
