Victoire is studying passive voice

Thanks to your donation, Victoire is attending intensive English classes on Saturdays and Sundays this fall. Victoire is 15 years old and is in her second year of lower secondary school in Rwanda. She hopes to one day become an English teacher, so English is an important part of her education!

Because the Rwandan schooling system has recently switched to English-based classes, students must catch up in English skills in order to succeed academically. Victoire is from the Gashora sector – an impoverished area of Rwanda which was hit hard by the genocide. Few students from Gashora have the opportunity to move on to upper secondary school. English skills are critical in order to succeed on the national exam which determines entrance into upper secondary school.

In her free time, she likes to play soccer. Victoire is eagerly practicing her verbal and written language skills, so that she can excel on her exams and in life.  This week, she is studying the use of passive voice! Thanks Tricia for your support of Victoire!
