"ANESU Alliance Partner Launches Literacy Program Fro Orphaned Children"

The South Ridge Community Church family recently sent a team of nine people to Zimbabwe, where they worked with ANESU to launch a literacy program at a bridging school run by their strategic Zimbabwe partner, Hope Valley Assembly.

If a child can learn to read, he can read to learn.

ANESU has been pleased to bring together South Ridge Community Church, Hands of Hope, and the Happy Reader program in a way that will result in greatly improved educational prospects for the disadvantaged children under Pastor Henry's care.

The Zimbabwe director of the Happy Reader program will work hand-in-hand with Hands of Hope, under the direction of ANESU, to maintain the momentum that was begun, equipping volunteer teachers in an on-going way and measuring progress at key intervals.

Could it be that this initiative could prove to be a template for addressing the desperate need for meaningful education among marginalized and disenfranchised children in Zimbabwe?

We think so.
