We are thrilled to announce that all 160 of the children across 3 of our villages are fully literate! Our normal program includes giving the children who are illiterate extra tutoring and help to learn to read and write Arabic. We have seen steady progress, but it has also been slow.
However, this summer, we were able to focus on this and give extra time and resources towards these children, helping them jump over the hurdle of illiteracy. By the end of the summer, we were thrilled to experience every single one of these children reading and writing! Praise God that they can now start the school year ready to learn and be able to read their Bibles as they go to their discipleship classes.
