This evening the adult literacy classes held a celebration for their progress this year. Only 60% of the adult population in Liberia is literate. This past year Liberia Now started an adult literacy program hiring two teachers who held classes three times a week. These classes were one of our most successful programs. Linda and Jerry surpassed all expections and did a wonderful job of teaching adults to read. All of the students who finished the program were reading by the end of this year. One student, Marie, didn't even know the alphabet at last September. Tonight she read a speech that she wrote. All of the students are amazing as they all worked very hard to learn while also working and taking care of their families.
