My Nonprofit Reviews

My name is Maria Jesus Pinedo Aguilar .
I am from Peru.
I came to the United States six years ago, in 2016.
In 2016 I started attending English classes in the Opening Word Program in Huntington Station, New York.
I remember the first day of classes there were almost one hundred students present.
I have had interesting and wonderful experiences here.
My first teacher was sister Catherine Pelusso. Her enthusiasm, joy, and faith in God touched my heart. Every week our teacher Virginia offered tangerines for all 32 students. Everyone enjoyed them.
It is important to learn English because it provides new opportunities in jobs and better communication in families.
Children often speak English at home and parents struggle to understand and communicate with them. That is why English is important in family life.
God Bless America and especially Opening Word Program Teachers and volunteers.
