As a project, one of our objectives is to promote the development of functional literacy among the sponsored girls. We do this by conducting reading comprehension activities facilitated by the Academic Tutors.
Mastering reading means developing a series of strategies that are perfected over time until one can read fluently and achieve proper reading comprehension.
We are very pleased to share that we currently have 55 participants in the reading club, directed by our
academic tutors (former scholarship recipients) and, in addition, 88 young women volunteering with the sponsored girls.
A volunteer position requires commitments, which the tutors assume:
• Attend the reading club every 15 days.
• Remain in the volunteer position for 2 years.
• Provide support to the girls.
• Take attendance and record the participation of the girls.
• Send verification photos of the activity carried out in the WhatsApp group
to be evaluated by the responsible scholarship technician.
Our support material in the reading clubs is our “Story Collection” for each grade, which facilitates the work of the tutors and provides them with more reading tools. The stories are written in the context of the girls, for their easy understanding.
THANKS to your donation, the girls continue to advance in their education, acquiring new skills through their reading, and are motivated to continue their studies.
