Sierra Leone Grant
|
The nation of Sierra Leone continues to raise its literacy rate. Identified as the poorest of the world's nations by the UN, increasing the national level of literacy is perhaps the single most hopeful means to change its economic, political, and intellectual status.
Dr. Johanna Kuyvenhoven, newly appointed to the Calvin College education department, has been awarded a grant from the Kuyers Institute to assist Christian educators in Sierra Leone to develop practices for the teaching of reading. The project aims to create a mandate and to develop a working framework for a newly established Literacy Center serving Kabala Christian School, the Koinondugu District, Sierra Leone, and beyond. |
