Case study: How reading has transformed Melissa's life
“I am happy with myself and my children are proud of me. I am now more confident and more connected.” Akilah, Lebanon
The war in Syria forced Akilah to flee her home. When she arrived in Lebanon with her four sons, she didn't understand any English - the language they were taught at school.
Akilah soon signed up for CAFOD-funded English classes, so she could support her sons with their schoolwork and make new friends.
Now Akilah feels confident speaking and writing in English. She can help her sons with their schoolwork: "I feel confident enough to answer my children's questions about English."
She also meets up once a week with new friends from both the Syrian and Lebanese communities to read and discuss stories.
This gift is part of our Education fund.
