Do you think the red is not needed here?

[v0031]

In countries all over the world, including the United States and the United Kingdom, the day raises people's awareness of and concern for literacy problems within their own communities. Activities such as letters to the editor in newspapers, as well as news reports about the concerns for low literacy levels, have occurred as a result of this increased awareness. Other activities include literacy day projects, particularly with regard to technology and literature, which are promoted by various organizations including reading associations.

"awareness of" and "concern for" are just how those words are used.

I think it would be better if you got rid of the word in red. The reader would still understand the point if you only put a conjunction there. No need for extra emphasis in that paragraph, the conjunction "and" settles all your problems.

Not quite. Since the second half 'concern for' is a verb followed by a preposition, the first half needs to be as well. Otherwise the first half in isolation would read 'awareness for literacy problems ' but 'awareness for' is not good English.
