50% of teenage youth in the English speaking country of the Gambia cannot read or write this sentence. We are committed to changing this statistic and need your help to make it happen!
Women Empowering Nations and Johnson Chapel Community Church (JC3) are seeking your support for our Boys & Girls English Literacy and Empowerment Program taking place, May 29 - June 11, 2010 in the Gambia, West Africa.
During our time in the Gambia, we will work students with the greatest academic need, focusing on literacy skills in conjunction with engaging development activities. Our program is multifaceted with an emphasis on academics as well as self-esteem development. We are dedicated to maintaining influential educational programming that fosters a spirit of inquiry, intellectual independence and enthusiasm for learning.
There is a dire need for English literacy development among Gambian youth which is essential for their success academically and socially. Literacy in the Gambia is said to be handicapped by an insufficient supply of basic textbooks and supplementary readers. We will improve this situation by providing participants with reading books and workbooks for summer learning. With your support, we will also be able equip them school supplies and materials to donate to the school.
We are asking you to be a part of this program to enhance literacy and self-esteem development in the Gambia, West Africa. You can be support this initiative by donating today.
