been coming to Project Literacy for one year. I couldn’t read

“Project
Literacy helps me to learn more. There are nice people here helping
me who are positive…I am learning words I could not understand
before.”
Arthur (learner)
“I came to Project Literacy to get some
help with my reading, writing, spelling, grammar and composition, and
I found a friend. I actually found many new friends. I never once thought
that I could read a story and understand it, or that I could write a
story and get told that I had done a fantastic job. It’s a wonderful
feeling to be able to send an e-mail to a friend, and them send one
back to you saying how much your spelling, writing skills, punctuation
and sentence structure have improved.”
