Each training situation is unique and requires some adaptation. The Lighthouse Mission building offered some unique challenges for presenting information and practice teaching. However, I've trained people underneath trees, so a turn of the century building was just another opportunity!
I checked in with Davin today. He begins to tutor at TeenChallenge next week. Teen Challenge has a strong discipleship based ministry to people coming off drug and alcohol addictions. Much reading and study goes into the program. If someone enters the program with low reading skills, then he often drops out because he can't keep up. Sean Goulet, the director of Lighthouse Mission and a graduate of Teen Challenge, understands this need.
Sean already has two clients at the mission who desire to learn to read and write. They attended the training and added a first-hand testimony to the reason literacy is needed in North America.
58 year old GD was not allowed to return to school after grade 3 because of discipline problems. He wants to learn to read so he can read his Bible. He doesn't attend any church because he can't read his Bible when the others do.
P is from Guyana. He left school when he was in grade 2. He immigrated to Canada and now struggles because of his low literacy skills.
