At the House of David in Ajloun, the Transformational Community Development (TCD) English classes led by Miss Nuha aimed to transform the learning experience for students like Yusef, who struggled with communicating in English. His difficulties had not only impacted his academic performance but had also chipped away at his self-confidence. Recognizing this, Miss Nuha designed interactive lessons that encouraged participation and allowed students to express themselves more freely, fostering a supportive environment where learning could flourish.
As weeks went by, Yusef began to engage more in class activities, gradually finding his voice amidst his peers. The interactive approach—incorporating games, group discussions, and technology—invited him to use English in a meaningful context. With each small victory, his confidence soared, and he started utilizing technological devices to enrich his knowledge, exploring new vocabulary and concepts outside the classroom.
Yusef’s transformation became an inspiring story within the House of David community. His journey from a hesitant learner to an enthusiastic participant highlighted the ultimate impact of dedicated teaching and the importance of small class settings. As Yusef blossomed, his story encouraged others to join the English classes, showcasing how these seemingly small efforts could significantly change lives and build a more confident generation of learners.

Income
Our programs at the House of David began last month, and while our classes are still new, we’re excited about the progress we’re making. We’re currently working to provide sewing machines to two dedicated women who are eager to learn and support their families with their skills. Next month, we’ll assist them in launching their own TCD projects to generate income. Additionally, we are actively seeking families to provide support in the form of goats, enabling them to initiate their own projects.
Thank you!
