Student and Volunteer Success Stories

In June 2011,Ana C. and her young son came to the United States from Central America,settling in Carson City, NV. She came with no knowledge of the English language and hearing about the ESL In-Home Program from her neighbors, she immediately called the director and expressed her dedication, urgency, and motivation in learning the language of her new country. We found her a tutor who had a good deal of patience and understanding of what it is to be an immigrant. Ana progressed very rapidly because she was determined to complete her homework assignments and practice what she knew in English on a daily basis.

Six months after starting with an ESL tutor, her son became ill. Ana asked her neighbor to stay with him while she ran to the pharmacy. Ana spoke to the pharmacist, explaining the symptoms her son was having, asking what she should do. The
pharmacist directed her to which aisle in the store to go to and what medicine she should look for. She located the aisle she was directed to, looked at all the cold medications and finally found the name of the one the pharmacist had suggested. After purchasing it, she went as fast as she could back home.

Ana thanked her neighbor who then left,. Ana read the directions on the product and administered the correct dosage to her son. She picked up her son's favorite story book, which she read to him in English until he fell asleep.

(Isn't this what any mother would like to do? The English Language Learners In-Home Program makes this possible.)

PS: Ana is now a U.S. citizen.
