During the last months, SpellAfrica has continued their program in helping out more and more people with little to no basic education who operate their small personal businesses to learn English. Some of our teachers that are kind enough to volunteer their free time to help our students are:
Osei is an accountant/banker with one of the top leading banks in Nigeria, but he is passionate enough to support the project as a volunteer teacher
Edet is a certified tutor in one of the biggest high school in Nigeria. He stops by in the evening after work hours at the class to teach our adult students, currently taking our most advanced and improved adult students, a little step closer to college.
Another interesting fact is that the oldest student learning how to read and write through our programme is 59 years old. That is almost three times the age of her teacher. Amazing humility displayed by our adult students is one of the qualities we love about them.
We would not stop until we transform the 65 million illiterate youths and adults to be able to read and write out of extreme poverty in Nigeria.
It's a global issue!
