Shout out to super mom, Aurora Mondragon, whose outstanding dedication to learning is making a difference in her own life AND in the lives of her children! Three years ago, Aurora participated in our family literacy program to improve English skills to read with her children, and she had continued learning English through our community-based classes. Now, her children are GREAT readers and students, and, this week, when the family stopped by, we were so thrilled to see 6-year old Megan's excitement to read aloud to her mom, baby sister Sara, and brother Luis! What a great example of how parents are their children's first and most important teacher, and how critical adult literacy is to creating a next generation of readers! These photos (this week and 3 years ago) make us so happy, and we are so inspired by parents like Aurora who work hard to learn new skills to help their children!
