Teaching a Second-Language to illiterates requires following special methodologies that differ from those methodologies that are used in teaching a Second-Language generally. It is important for Educators and Teachers; especially in the West, to note the fundamental requirements that necessitate establishing new forms of Teaching-Learning process of a Second-Language to those who are illiterates. |

Making this website was my personal project in community service where the main goal was to empower an Afghan refugee mother who lost three of her sons. The main purpose for this project was to light the flame of hope in Hava's heart; and to help her out of her depression. Have is an illiterate female who doesn't know how to read and write even in her own language. The only communication channel that connects her to the world around her is actually verbal rather than written. Add to this, she is mourning mother who lost 3 sons, and her heart is still crying over their loss. Therefore, instead of pushing her to do or to learn something new, i tried with something that she masters very well and makes her feel confident for knowing that she is still valuable and useful. She is a very talented and strong female; and i built my project on these merits.
In Hava's culture, and for women who are similar to her, i.e. illiterate, domestic excellency is their pride and their highest goal in life. Domestic here means everything that represent the woman in her cultural personality as a good wife and a good mother. And Hava was an excellent woman if we can use this cultural definition to say so. Cooking, sewing, being an active mother are but few characteristics that an excellent cultural woman possesses. Hava gave up everything, and stopped living when she lost her third son; she stopped cooking, She stopped sewing and she has been withdrawing further and further in a passive role as a mother.
I made Hava start her cooking again, and you should see how active, positive and smiling she became. Please allow me to share with you some glimpse of Hava's empowerment project " Hava Cuisine "; She empowered me !

This project is still going on and educational videos are added on weekly basis. |
