My Project

At Kealing, we are committed to providing every learner with the resources they need to thrive academically and beyond. However, many of the English language learners we work with face significant barriers to accessing high-quality educational materials, particularly books that they can read.

This is why we're launching our "Books for English Language Learners" initiative, aimed at expanding our library of resources specifically tailored to

ensure that every English language learner in our program has access to age-appropriate and engaging reading materials that promote language development and cultural understanding.

Create a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore new worlds, express themselves, and build essential literacy skills.

Your contribution will make a tangible difference in the lives of our English language learners and help us build a brighter future for our community.
