LED Celebration

On September 20, 2018, AHC held a celebration for students from the Learning English Language for Daily Life (LED) program. This conversational-style English circle started in May 2018 at  Michener Park and Clareview Multicultural Center as a pilot project followed by two more locations, MAC Islamic Center and the AHC office. After the successful completion of the LED Pilot Project,  the LED program officially launched on September 29th at the AHC Community Hall. Around 70 people attended the celebration. 39 participants from 4 locations received their certificates of participation. The total number of eligible students has been 55 since the program started. Program manager, Suzana Dumo, presented the bouquets for the partner organizations, certificates of participation for the students, as well as appreciation certificates to the volunteer facilitators who are spent their valuable time and skills for LED program, including Mahenaz who developed the lesson plans. Four participants shared their testimonies from the LED class. View images from the event below.
