SHARING VOICES

Sharing Voices

Sharing Voices is an initiative of RICEMA’s adult education program that gives students an opportunity to share their cultures with the community. This initiative is a series of ESL classes focused on celebrating and embracing culture. 

Students who took part in the Sharing Voices unit learned how to read and write recipes in English, and were given the option to share their recipes with the public online. Take a look and see if there is a recipe you would like to try!
