You’re welcome, Emma! So glad to hear it.
I work as a school superintendent in Kigali Christian Schools. Your ideas are great and a few I have shared with colleagues are giving positive results.
Keep up the good work!

Michael, have you written about, tips/ways that illiterate parents can use to support their children’s education? The contextual background is that, in developing countries, English is used as a medium of instruction, yet parents are not able to support children learning in a foreign language

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
