English Skills Learning Center

The Latest and Greatest News about our Small Group Classes at the Humanitarian Center

We had a wonderful "Volunteer Apprciation Luncheon" provided by the LDS Center last Thursday, Oct. 20th. It was in recognition of ESLC volunteers who teach English to employees of the Humanitarian Center, some of whom have been teaching there for several years. Each of the 100 students had written a thank you card to their volunteer teachers, saying things such as "Thank you for teaching me English, we need you and we love you!" and "Thank you for helping me! You are good teachers." Some wrote what they could in English, and finished expressing themselves in their native language. Two students, Iram Qayyum and Chandra Acharya, spoke to the tutors to say THANKS on behalf of everyone, which is a huge accomplishment for someone learning another language. It's impressive to see how much progress our students can make with the support of dedicated volunteers!
