Contributions keeps ESL program going
Without the help of the following recent contributors, the ESL In-Home Program of Northern Nevada (a no-cost-to-student program) would not continue to grow and become as successful as we are today. We wish to give our sincerest thanks and gratitude to Partnership Carson City, City of Carson, Industrial Properties of Reno and our tutors in five counties who sent us donations.
Their generous contributions have helped provide the instructional materials to start more adults from our waiting list who are anxious to learn English language skills in our no-cost-to-student program.
