Changing lives: ESL Learning Center

The women at the Parañaque City Jail had a lot of fun while learning how to give directions IN ENGLISH in their last meeting. As they are willing to participate and learn, the class always gets new students added to the existing lot since the new participants happened to be by watchers of the previous on going ESL classes. They see the fun that their fellow inmates are having and that inspired them to behave well so that they can be rewarded with the privilege of attending these classes given by LifeLine Foundation.

Just after the last session ended, one of the inmates named Lilia commented, "I like this class compared to the others because I really get to make my mind think. In the other classes, it is mostly manual knowledge. I am grateful for that, yet it is only in this class that I really exercise my mind to think, analyze and express myself. It is a different class."

Another inmate approached us and asked, "Ma'am, when I get out of here, can I work for LifeLine too? I see how you have been helping us so much, and I'd like my life to count too when I am free, by helping people just like the way I see you do it." As she has received, she too wants to give. This is what Lifeline is all about. Lifeline has been serving the Parañaque Women's City Jail for sometime now, with its vision of helping to change broken lives, one person at a time, and it continues to do so.
