Thanks to your gift, Adebe has recently joined our ELL class. Adebe is from Ethiopia, and he currently works at a local market here in Upper Darby, PA, where there is only a limited amount of English spoken. Although he has taken an ELL course before, he hopes this opportunity will help him to build a stronger vocabulary and learn useful phrases for day to day living. His main goal is to improve his English so that he can find a better job to support his family. His wife and their two friends also attend the class, which is focused on questions, listening, cooperative learning, and problem solving. Adebe, his wife, and their friends are all very thankful that the classes are in a location where they feel safe. Thank you so much Chris and Emily for giving Adebe such an important gift!
