Languages open doors. Learning a new language can provide so many opportunities. Neuroscientist have also shown that learning new languages helps increases the density of grey matter which contain most of the brain&#039;s neurons and synapses. The benefits of language learning will last a life time. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. The Story: My name is Jean Luc Biluge, and I’d like to transform the Youth Center at Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda into a language training center for youth. Actually, we wouldn’t change the youth center much, we’d just want to add resources to help young men and women learn English and other languages. <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/16197544_1479755161.7852_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /> I’ve been living in Nakivale for several years now. I’m 20 years old, and I came here several years ago with my family from eastern Congo. Life is tough for everybody, but especially for youth in Nakivale. We’re all able to work, but there is very little for us to do here. There are no occupations for us. Each family receives a small plot of land to farm, but it’s difficult to grow anything worth selling because there is a drought and there’s really no way to irrigate or bring water long distances to the land. <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/16197544_1479755186.5271_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />There are few opportunities to make a living, so many youth don’t have much more to do than sit around. We need to come up with other opportunities for young people here. So, I’d like to use the youth center as a language training center. With $1,800, we could purchase a small television and DVD player and language learning DVD courses that anyone could use and play at any time.  But we would spend most of the money to pay refugees in the camp to teach language to other refugees. Teachers would get a small stipend to lead small language classes and conversation groups. It would provide an opportunity for those of us who are proficient speakers to earn a little bit of income, and it would give other young refugees the chance to learn an important skill that could be valuable now or in our future. If this language center idea works, we could try other skills – like carpentry, mechanics, tailoring or electronics. The youth center is already a central location that young people know about and use to socialize. This would allow us to make it an even better resource for the whole community. I hope you’ll consider supporting my idea. ARC Staff Sponsor: Joseph Kyobe is ARC’s Senior Logistics Officer in Uganda.
