After
only a few months Nikolay learned basic English
As
a recent refugee from the former Soviet Union, Nikolay Mokan
spoke no English and was unable to get a job and support his
family. The family was referred to Tacoma Community House,
a United Way member agency, and was able to work with a bilingual
job developer.
After
only a few months Nikolay learned basic English and found
a job working as a master carpenter.
Nikolay
is only one of 3,795 people who receive English Second Language
(ESL) or job readiness training through United Way funded
programs each year.
Programs
like those at Tacoma Community House are at the heart of building
relationships between people in need and people who can help.
Thank you for your continued support.
