What is happening at IRWP?
The first five months of 2017 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, 112 new students have started learning new English skills with the help of their volunteer teacher. 124 new volunteers have been trained! Currently 225 volunteers are working with 229 students with more meeting a new teacher soon! This is over 59% more than this time last year. We received 127 referrals for more people in need of a teacher since January 1, so we are still in need of volunteers to teach. We thank everyone who has reached out to help in so many different ways to make a positive, personal impact.

Making House Calls
Does anyone make house calls anymore? As a volunteer teacher at the Immigrant & Refugee Women’s Program in St. Louis, Missouri, Sister Rosel Marie Feder does! Why? “People are comfortable in their own surroundings,” says Sister Rosel. “When people are relaxed, they learn more readily.”
