Britt’s Learning Center

Giving the poorest of the poor, especially girls, a better chance to learn: this is what Britt’s Learning Center (BLC) stands for. BLC started on March 20 2009 at ACED’s office in Bavel. About 50 students now have the opportunity to take free English lessons from Monday to Friday by experienced language teachers.

Timetable:
5 p.m. to 6 p.m.: Elementary Course
6 p.m. to 7 p.m.: Beginners

ACED is able to set up BLC thanks to Britt-Mari Bjorklund of Finland, who was a volunteer with ACED and has now become Member of ACED Board of Directors, and takes pride in naming the center after her. Thorsten Meyer, volunteer from Germany, was also among the founders of BLC, taught English and provided for teaching material.

International volunteers who want to help teaching English and/or Computer skills at BLC are very welcome to join. Donations are also greatly appreciated.

ACED is also planning to establish computer courses at BLC. By offering free courses to the poorest of the poor, ACED will help them to improve their future prospects and create better living conditions for themselves.
