Many of you know Jean Bingham as a member of the ESLC staff. She is, but did you know that she is an unpaid volunteer? She started out volunteering with the ESLC seven years ago, tutoring two Afghani women. When we were in need, she stepped in to help, and helped out so much, that she is now considered as part of the staff! She teaches our Tutor Trainings, does tutor-student matches, teaches classes, does record-keeping in the office, and much more - all as a volunteer! This year Jean was honored by the Utah State Refugee Office as an Outstanding Volunteer, and she received a plaque and a handmade bag made by Karen refugees from Myanmar. We agree that Jean is an Outstanding Volunteer, and are so grateful for her service!
