Conduit of Hope featured in Portland State newsletter
A story on Conduit of Hope students was recently published in the Portland State University newsletter. The story begins on page 2.
The article’s author, Judy Reed, is the director of the Intensive English Language Program (IELP) at PSU where our Conduit students enroll. She traveled to Argentina in August for a language conference and while in Buenos Aires, she visited our community partner, La Lecheria, in Barrio San Pablo. Judy wanted to check on our Conduit alumni and to understand better the incredible hurdles our students have to overcome. She published the article about her experience in the IELP’s most recent newsletter. It is striking in its graphic description of the reality our students are challenging through their courageous efforts to pursue higher education. We are very grateful for the support of Mrs. Reed and the rest of the IELP!
