Reflections
on Learning
“As
a tutor, I have learned to appreciate just how much of an obstruction
illiteracy is to a learner’s daily life.“
~ Tutor Brian C.
“I
love my second family at the Learning Center.”
~ Learner Nyla H.
“This
center, with the tutors and volunteers who put in the time for us, changes our
lives. Before, I couldn’t read emails. Now, I can read them! It’s important to
my job.“
~ Learner Ramon G
“I
can’t thank you enough. My tutor not only helps me with learning, but with
everyday life. I know you are here to help me, and I feel safe.
~ Learner
