It’s never too late to learn.

Educational/Family Services, our Guerin Outreach Ministries sponsored ministry in West Terre Haute, Ind., puts that belief into action. Dale Howk, a 25-year-old from Rosedale, Ind. is just one of the adults who benefits from the free basic adult education and the free after-school tutoring for children that are offered here.

"The most rewarding part has been the confidence it has built in me," Dale said. "I’ve always been a shy reader, and I wouldn’t read out loud. But now I’m confident enough to sit down and read a book and even read out loud."
