“The Literacy Council of the Black Hills is very important to me. Learning a new language as an adult is not an easy thing and if it weren’t for the Literacy Council I wouldn’t have achieved some things such as: Getting my driver’s license, passing the English test to start college, and best of all being able to communicate, which is the most important thing.”
