LEARNERS IN LIBERIA

IN A SMALL CRAMPED ROOM WHERE THE AIR IS BARELY MOVING.....YOU WILL FIND A LITERACY CLASS THAT SHANNON BUSBY HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO THESE WOMEN. IT BENDS MY HEART TO MY KNEES TO ENTER, AND SEE THE FACES OF THOSE I REMEMBER FROM MY LAST VISIT, AND HOW EAGER THEY ARE TO SHOW ME HOW THEY CAN NOW READ SMALL, SMALL AS THEY SAY. I'M THANKFUL FOR AN UNENDING EXPANDABLE HEART TO STORE ALL OF THESE MIRACLE MOMENTS.

MARY A LEARNER WHERE WE VISITED HER ON HER FRONT PORCH AND SHE SHARED HER BOOK AND READ TO ME. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THESE MOMENTS.


SHANNON USING HER CREATIVE STYLE TO HELP THE LEARNERS IN THE CLASS. SHE HAD THEM DRAW WORDS AND LETTERS FROM THE BOWL TO READ. WE WHITE FOLKS HAVE A HARD TIME BALANCING THINGS ON OUR HEAD AS YOU CAN SEE SHE WAS USING HER HANDS. THE LEARNERS LOVED IT!


THIS IS THE SONG THEY SING THAT SHANNON WROTE TO START OUT THEIR CLASS. ARE WE NOT ALL THIS IN HIS SIGHT?


THE CLASS WITH THE NEW BOOKS THAT I BROUGHT. IT WAS WITH INPUT FROM ALL OF THEM THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE ADDITIONS TO MAKE THE BOOK EVEN BETTER. SISTER KIMBALL IN THE BACK RIGHT IS MY MOST TENDER HEARTED FRIEND. I'M TRAINING HER TO BE THE LIBERIA LITERACY SPECIALIST. I'M IN HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH SURROUNDED BY THIS LOVE.
