Yesterday I was able to go to a woman’s home and practice English with her and her children. She is a young woman that never got to complete school in her own country. She knows a decent amount of English already, but she does not have the confidence to go out and use it. I really loved going and spending time with her and her children. She is such a generous and kind woman, and I can see us being good friends. Her children are full of energy and a lot of fun to hang out with. This experience caused me to think about how I want to do this in the future. I want to work with refugee women and children to help them learn English and gain confidence to go out and be a part of their new communities. I don’t know what this will look like, but I think this is something that I want to work towards. I want to do anything I can to help them succeed where they are and show them that they are welcome here.
Much love, B
