What is happening at IRWP?
January through July have been busy! The support from our community brought new teachers, welcome cards for students, supplies, donations, and a variety of individual fundraisers. Thanks to this wonderful support, 153 new students have started learning new English skills with the help of their volunteer teacher. 166 new volunteers have been trained! Currently 241 volunteers are working with 251 students with more meeting a new teacher soon! This is over 65% more than this time last year. We received 184 referrals for people in need of a teacher since January 1, so we are still in need of volunteers to teach. We thankeveryone who has reached out to help in so many different ways to make a positive, personal impact.
