Have you ever been in another country where you didn't speak the language? If you have, you probably remember how scary even the simplest interactions can be. It is so wonderful in that situation to have someone who is willing to help you learn your way around and help you learn essential phrases, so you can do everyday tasks.
The same is true for people coming to our country. As more Spanish speakers come to the North Liberty area, we were asked to help them feel at home here by hosting an English class at the church. We said yes and started a 10 week class for fall 2010. We offer a simple meal and child care, as well as a group class and individual mentoring.
We need your help to reach out and welcome our neighbors. You do not need to be able to speak Spanish, but if you do, all the better. We need help with: Mentoring Meal preparation Child care Transportation Please contact Judy McRoberts at 319-430-9881 or judy.mcroberts@gmail.com if you are willing to be a part of this ministry.
