Faith (right foreground) is a nine-year-old student at St. James and Teacher Grace’s daughter. Living nearby and with her mother often on grounds, she has frequent opportunities to use the Hub. She shyly professed to using it for Facebook chats with friends, watching YouTube, playing math games, and doing school research. Separate conversations with others in the community revealed that Faith is actually a local expert, a go-to among kids and adults to demonstrate applications from email to video recording.
Raymond (left) is a community volunteer. Challenges blocked his paths to traditional education, but he became proficient with the Hub, where he continues to teach himself with resources like Khan Academy. He is often on grounds, sharing his knowledge and helping to apply the community’s decision to ensure access for girls and women.
