A Volunteer’s Reflections
Mathews was a student at Fountain of Life Community School when we launched our very first reading program in 2014. Once a month, we brought volunteers to the school to read with and to the children. At the time, Mathews was shy and quiet, often in the background. But over the Saturdays, he became one of the most confident readers.
He shares a heartwarming reflection on his experience volunteering with Impact One.
Reflections from a Volunteer
Over the past month, Cynthia, a student from the University of Zambia who is currently studying literacy and languages, has been interning with us. She has helped us create educational resources for our teachers, developed new literacy resources for higher level readers, and conducted many of our annual reading assessments. When reflecting back on her time with us, this is what Cynthia had to say.
“Impact One Initiative is indeed transforming lives through the power of education. As I have come to witness, this is definitely coming to fruition; one school, one teacher and one child at a time.
