Announcements brought to you by Cultural Bridges of St. Joseph, a committee of Central Minnesota Community Empowerment Organization.
Our English volunteer teachers are key to opening up opportunities to those with little English skills in the St. Cloud area.
On May 13, the St. Cloud school district recognized the contributions of one our teachers in St. Joseph. Jennifer Oschwald, who has been volunteering her time since the Somalis first came to this area, was recognized as a volunteer with the school district.
During this last school year, Oschwald has had to schedule and prepare classes never knowing how many students might show up or if the class would be canceled because of snow. She filled in when other teachers couldn’t make a class and taught all levels from 1 to 5.
Because of Ramadan and the timing of our evening classes, these classes have been discontinued for the school year so mothers can be home tending to their families.
