	The Yoruba Readers' Club of North America was established as a forum for the exchange of ideas, stories and other learning materials in the Yoruba language among its members utilizing contemporary information technology resources . The aim of the club is to provide multimedia resources for this purpose. It is designed especially for Yoruba children in the diaspora, but open to any one interested in learning the language.

	Bus International has identified a variety of multimedia tools suitable for this purpose. In tune with its trade-mark concept Yorùbá Mõ ön kô, Mõ ön kà the goal for students is to acquire proficiency not only in reading ( and speaking ) the language, but in writing it as well. We will use the CD ROM - Storybook Weaver Deluxe - as our medium of exchange of Yoruba stories,exercises, poems , songs etc. This format which can likened to a " multimedia exercise book " comes complete with sound, pictures and words that can be tailored to individual skills and needs for our ongoing lessons in Yoruba language.
