Testimonial
“When we came here, we couldn’t even order fast food for dinner. We couldn’t go to the doctor by our selves. We even needed someone to translate for us at the post office. Now we feel very comfortable going everywhere by our selves. We can ask directions and questions, and find out whatever we want to know all by our selves. Now we feel that we are able to help our kids in school, and help them with their needs because we understand more English, thanks to the ESOL classes. Our teachers make us feel that we have the power to do anything that we set as our goal; that nothing it’s impossible, and that there is help out there. You just need to go to the right place like we did. Thank you CEP.”
