Tutoring

Our housekeeper went through a very hard time not very long ago when her sister died, leaving her with two young boys. She already had plenty of kids whom she was trying to put through school, and it was becoming very hard for her to make ends meet; now educating the two boys which she recently inherited. Also, the boys are struggling at school. It's not because they are not smart, but because they have a hard time expressing their opinions in English. Therefore, I am tutoring both of them for community and service. This way, they get one-on-one attention and already I can see improvement in their reading and writing. It is going very well, and I hope that it continues that way. I started on the 20th of August, and have continued tutoring every Wednesday since, missing only about 5 Wednesdays.
