Voices of Project Literacy - Watertown Free Public Library

When I was single and living in Armenia, life was much simpler. Living with my familywas comfortable, exciting and eventful. I had many family members and friends. Life washappy and carefree. After couple of years living in Armenia my husband had to relocate tothe United States for work. After relocating to the US, my life changed and got moredifficult. I was removed from my close family and relatives, and it was very difficult in thebeginning to adjust to this sudden culture change.After a couple years of adjustment, we had our first child. This was the most importantand exciting thing that happened to me in the US. I am working on learning English andgetting my driver’s license to make living the US much more interesting and easier.– Mane Davtyan, StudentAs a former student and a current tutor with Project Literacy, I deeply appreciate thiswonderful program. In the past, I had been enjoying both the advanced English class andthe different levels of computer classes. This computer training had become a great startfor developing my skills on a 21st century level.As a tutor, I am enjoying helping a person who needs English for making it in this country.Our meetings give her not just language skills, but also an ability to be independent andhope for professional development.
