English Tutoring for Finda

By Amy M Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Finda in her English tutoring class

Finda is a beneficiary of Develop Africa and has been receiving educational support since kindergarten thanks in part to your generous support. She took the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in 2020 but was not able to meet the university requirements in English. To help improve her English the Develop Africa Sierra Leone team facilitated one on one English classes with Lisa R. in October of 2021, which was made possible through your generous donations. Finda has benefited a lot from Lisa’s English tutoring and is now prepared to retake the WASSCE exam in October 2022.

Finda expresses her gratitude in this video saying-

Hello, my name is Finda, I am a beneficiary of Develop Africa. For the past few months now, I have been taking English classes with miss Lisa. I've learned a lot, I learned about grammar, I learned about sentences, letter writing, and subordinate conjunctions. Thank you very much, Miss Lisa and I am also grateful to Develop Africa for giving me this great opportunity to know everything I have learned. Thank you very much.

Finda is looking forward to taking the WASSCE again and starting college to study accounting We invite you to help change more girls' lives. Making a monthly donation is the most effective way to help girls get their education, but every dollar donated makes a difference!

If you are not yet a recurring donor and would like to sign up for a recurring donation go here.

Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

With great appreciation,

Amy and the Develop Africa team
