On Tuesday, Dec 15, we met with Lynn and Dean Curtis, directors of Interweave Solutions, an NGO that produces materials teaching self-reliance
. We were interested in considering some of their programs for refugee aid. Of most interest to me was the business literacy program: teaching literacy in a second language using materials that teach business terminology, ethics and local laws as the topic.
LDS versions of Interweave publications are available FREE in many languages at lds.org in Provident Living. This is the new Chirch direction on self-reliance to supplement the PEF.
you can download the manuals here : https://www.lds.org/topics/pef-self-reliance/manuals-and-videos?lang=eng. Look on the righthand side for a list of the 33 languages the program is available in!
Thanks for letting us know about Interweave. It is great to see creative saints using their life experience and talents and resources to innovatively combat the world's ills.
