Here are 2 ladies from our church getting ready to go to an orientation class to learn to teach literacy. The classes are organized by a missionary friend who allowed us to plug in some of our people. We hope to have a few more ladies join the first teacher's class in March.

We are more than happy to oblige as so many in the community will benefit.
