Photo above: The women with their certificates
Four months ago we started a literacy program in Zahle with the mothers, it has been a fulfilling journey getting to know these lovely women and to know how eager they are to learn how to read and write. We have two groups of women that we visit four days a week and we have seen big progress with them. It’s been an amazing experience to see their joy and their will to be able to read. Last week was their graduation, they were so happy and excited to receive their first certificate of literacy (for many the first certificate of their lives). We saw the respect and gratitude and the love we shared with them. They are now able to read sign boards in the street and help their children with their studies. We are all very happy with the result. –Zeinab Literacy program teacher
