LEARNING TO LEARN


The Literacy Classes restarted on a regular basis in August. All of the girls who are now attending come from the Lemon-Chili community, where adults as well as children sell lemon and chili on the streets -believed to be protective charms- to make a living.

The girls were fascinated with the books, slates, blackboard, chalk, teacher, etc. In the one of the Adolescent Sessions, they manifested their interest in learning numbers, letters, reading, writing, etc. After attending for a full month, all the girls were very happy that they had started the Literacy Classes.
