Despite her advanced age, Grandma Belinha does
not let herself to be overcome by difficulties and 3 days a week she attends
the first year of the Literacy course in Banhine. Although she has more
difficulties with the Portuguese language, she’s one of the top 3 best students
at Math’s class!
The ALG Literacy courses aim to help women like
Grandma Belinha to learn how to read and write, so they can help their children
studying. Learning to write their names, read in Portuguese or learn how to add
and subtract numbers, allowed these women to closely monitor their children and
grandchildren and also helped them to improve their family business wich they
are mostly the main driving.
At a cost of £20 ALG pays a hole year of a
Literacy course to 1 of 117 young mothers or grandmothers who inspire us with
their willpower and dedication, like Grandma Belinha.
