Meet Kpoti. He is going to be a featured student at the 10th Annual Read.Learn.Grow. Gala. Starting over in a new country is hard. Originally from Togo, Kpoti was excited to join his high school sweetheart, now wife, in the United States, but knew that he would face many challenges. His first challenge was learning English. Through the recommendation of a friend and former LVGH student, Kpoti enrolled in LVGH’s ESOL program. Learning English was difficult, but with hard work and regular class attendance, his skills developed quickly. “At LVGH, we learned grammar, vocabulary and about life in the U.S. At first, it was hard to speak and I was scared, but the more I came to class the easier it became.”

You can hear the rest of Kpoti's story at our event coming up on March 30th. Visit our site to for more information and to purchase tickets.

Student Stories:

“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."
