Promising Pages & Habitat for Humanity Team Up

Habitat of Humanity recently built a house for the Rahlan-Ksor family, a Vietnamese family of eight for whom English is a second language, one the parents have little experience with and the children (five girls aged six through fourteen, and a one-year-old son) have just begun to or will learn in school. As Melanie Lewis, Client Services Coordinator for Habitat of Humanity of Matthews, says, “the presence of books in the English language” would be extremely beneficial in helping with both the cultural adjustment and the development of English in the entire family.

Promising Pages will be more than happy to donate books once their home is completed, and we hope that members of our Charlotte family will pass on information about families or organizations with whom we can become further involved. While this is just our first partnership with Habitat for Humanity, we’re sure there will be lots more in the future, and we’d like to give a huge welcome to the Rahlan-Ksor family and wish them all the best as they begin their new adventure. We hope the books we provide make the adjustments easier and that you find magic stuck between the pages of each and every one!
