Learning English in the Bekaa Valley || Newspapers

21-08-2012

In the Bekaa village of Shmustar, a dozen women spent an afternoon studying English at a small community center, reading a dialogue that mimicked – rather realistically – conversational chitchat that would normally take place after a wedding.

The Shmustar students are among 800 in the U.S. State Department funded Teach Women English program. Since 2008, the program offers free classes at rural and other underserved communities. Taught and attended by Lebanese, they are part of the State Department’s efforts to empower women. (The Daily Star)
