Service Hour 5

Today I helped a woman from Ethiopia. She could speak and understand the language ok, but she was illiterate. I found out later that she was also illiterate in her native language as well. We did basic things like work on short vowel sounds and words that started with these sounds. Then, we practiced writing some lower case letters. She had a hard time reproducing the letters i would make for her; she even had a hard time tracing the letters. But, with all of this in mind she was a very hard worker and a very nice lady. It's inspiring to see someone struggling that much, but to have the determination to go on and keep trying.
