    “ As an old member of iEARN (3 years), I saw iEARN objectives achieved. The first thing I learned was getting to know where I am. Where in this world! I knew what is around me, the problems I face and what I hold as beliefs and abilities. I confirm that through the last three years, I improved my language ability to a very high standard. I was also able to empower myself with numerous IT skills. What a project!”
