When you hear about Dorcas Place these days, you feel a certain pride and admiration for our good work in the field of adult literacy. Just last month, we were the only adult education organization in the nation to be honored in Washington, D.C. by the National Coalition for Literacy.
That’s because through your generous annual support, we have built the capacity to change the lives of low-income, low-literacy adults who are struggling day to day. Our students know that the education and help we offer is the key to a better future.
Take Sambath, for example. He was a student who worked all night, got his daughters off to school, and then attended class at Dorcas Place from 9 am to 2 pm every day. His company wanted him to improve his English, and he did. He then continued to move through our classes until he earned his GED this past June. So many teachers stood by him and encouraged him to persevere.
We hope you will consider contributing to Dorcas Place’s 2010 Annual Fund to help ensure that we have the required resources to maintain the high quality education programs that have become our trademark. Your gift will have an impact on assisting us in delivering new program features that include:
Our continuous growth in both the quality and scope of programs for adult learners is due in no small part to support provided by individual donors. Thank you considering contributing to the 2010 Annual Fund. This campaign runs through June 2010.
