“I didn’t realize how helpful LVGH would be. This isn’t the end for me here. I’m going to keep coming back and improve my skills.”

Jackie

“I like how welcoming and encouraging the tutors are. They were able to help me with my dyslexia and push me to reach my goals. I always had a passion for learning and when I came to LVGH I met even more people like me and I felt like I was home.”

Joey

“Since I’ve improved my English skills I am more independent. I can go shopping, visit a doctor or fix an internet problem with a company over the phone, easily; that’s not a big deal for me anymore.”

Kelcillene

“Education helps you realize your potential, which allow you to empower yourself to do more than you thought you could do before.”

Winston

“After joining Literacy Volunteers of Greater Hartford (LVGH) I feel confident to go out with my children. It changed my life.”

Joel moved to the United States in March of 2021, after a long process obtaining the K1 fiancé visa with his now-wife, Mari. “We were separated for more than a year thanks to the pandemic closing all embassies and immigration centers,” he tells us. “Once we finally were able to get an interview, we came to the US.” Joel found out about LVGH through social media and began taking classes with us online shortly after he arrived. “I am studying English because I want to better myself and because of course, I am in a country where it is needed,” he explains. “My goal is to start my life over again and create something out of it in a land of so many opportunities.” Joel says he likes taking classes online because they feel more personal than a classroom and work better with his schedule. When asked how LVGH has helped his transition, he says: “These are good people trying to help immigrants. It has been a great way to see generosity of those in a country that has welcomed us in.” And as for what’s next? “We have a long and expensive way to go to get permanent residency, but I am very excited to become a citizen one day.” We’re excited for Joel, too, and we look forward to helping him along the way. ...
