Part of my job here is to tutor a girl called Isabelle. She's had a pretty rough start in life – you can't hear her story and not be moved to tears, but she wants to move on now and prepare for the future. She hasn't been to school for a few years, but will start again in Janurary. To make things complicated, the school system just swapped from French to English, so she has to learn a whole new set of vocabulary. Even the alphabet was a source of confusion, as letters are pronounced differently in French. My job is to make sure she's ready for January, and then help her with her schoolwork for the rest of the year.
She's a really bright girl, and I think she'll do really well. I'll tutor her for six hours a week, but I’m hoping to teach her more than English. Please pray that God uses me and others at the church to bring healing to this young women, to instil in her a sense of value and worth, and to show her that in Jesus she can have a bright future.
