Literacy Advance Wish List

Tutor Erin (center) and her students smile for the camera at the LAH main office on Wilcrest.

“Teaching English is something I have wanted to do for a long time. When I moved to Houston, I heard about the program at LAH and it was exactly what I wanted to do. The classes have become a great part of my week. The students are excited and interested and classes fly by with all their questions. I believe that learning English is an important part of living here and I am grateful for the chance to contribute in this way.”
-- Erin, LAH Tutor

Volunteers from St. Luke's United Methodist pitch in to help clean up the new Central location! Thank you!
