English as Second Language
We offer weekly English classes to the children in our neighborhood who don’t go to school. They learn the basics and hear about Jesus’ love for them.
Everyday there are thousands of kids that do not go to school. We discovered this early on and new that this would be a big part of the ministry here. One of the biggest things that determined the change we made in living on the boat to living on shore was just for this ministry. We new that we need a place to teach and a place to which build a relationship with the local community.
So what we have done is to take kids from the neighbor hood and teach them the basics of english in a school setting for free. Often many of these children have never sat still in a classroom setting ever. So just that in its self is a big challenge here.
Each year we get to “graduate” some of these kids to a school of their choosing. Having learned to sit still in class and have an aptitude to learn. If they qualify for the Island Memorial Chapel child sponsorship program then they will have a free paid for education as well.
