“At 5 years old, I immigrated to America with my family and none of us spoke English. While I had the luxury of going to school and learning English, my parents did not. As an adult, I see how many opportunities I have that my parents missed, because I am able to speak English. Working in the construction industry, I have seen first hand how many non-English speakers get treated differently. Knowing that Literacy Together is making a HUGE impact helping immigrants just like me continue their English literacy so that they can succeed means so much. I also love reading bi-lingual books from the Imagination Library with my son, Arlo. While it isn’t easy to change the world, it is easy to have a big impact on the community around us! THANK YOU everyone at Literacy Together who works each and every day to do exactly that!”
