Subject: [EnglishLanguage 911] Searching for a literacy volunteer inWashington Metro Area


Hello, all:

Can you help?

Searching for a literacy volunteer in the Washington metro area to assist a 
25 year old ESL trans-continent American who is having difficulty with 
reading, writing, and math, (RWM).  The young woman has at least an average 
IQ, but due to most unusual circumstances has never received a proper 
education, and is now suffering the consequences.  She is highly motivated, 
though for the past few years most unfortunately misdirected.  The literacy 
volunteer need not be concerned with anything right now other than the 
basics of RWM and available time to meet for at least 2 hours a minimum of 
once a week.  However, a good amount of kindness, understanding, patience, 
and determination to help a wonderful human being in need of help is 
mandatory.

If you are interested, or if you know of someone else who would be 
interested, please contact me by phone at 202-364-3893 or by email at 
j-p-sinclair at att.net to discuss details.  This would probably begin in the 
next two weeks.

Thanks, and happy new year.

Judith Peyton Sinclair, PhD
