Madam Nora –
From Recipient to Giver

“Seeing the mothers enjoy my classes and improve their English keeps me motivated. I am grateful for my social worker’s encouragement that has brought me this far.”

Madam Nora

Madam Nora has been receiving help from KKFSC for several years, facing her own challenges with the support of social workers. During the weekly produce distributions, staff noticed that the mothers volunteering were struggling with English and expressed a desire to improve their language skills.

Madam Nora, who speaks fluent English, was approached by her social worker with the idea of teaching English to the mothers. Initially hesitant and unsure of her teaching abilities, Madam Nora eventually agreed after much encouragement and discussion.

In 2023, Madam Nora began leading weekly English lessons for a small group of mothers in Jalan Besar. Using everyday conversations and practical settings like supermarket visits, she helped the mothers become more confident in their English skills.
