What are the group participants saying?
“It feels like a ‘conditioner’ to my busy life … your English class and support group have become something like an anchor in my life.”
“For me, this is a place that feels very warm and real. A place I don’t feel tired going back to, even when I’m not in a good mood. There’s a real sense of belonging there.”
“What you are doing is not just teaching English. It’s something much bigger than that. You are helping people like us feel settled, feel supported, and slowly find our place here. That really matters.”
It has “greatly improved my confidence in using English as a second language,” “helped me settle into New Zealand more smoothly,” and “given me a real sense of belonging.”
“These groups have protected me from feeling isolated or discouraged in a new country. The support I have received has given me the courage to overcome many difficulties.”
