"Today, I am a happy woman. I’m very proud. I’m in the first grade. I can read and write. In the past, I couldn’t do that. My parents never sent me to school. But today I am happy that I can read and write. I’m a market woman. Now, I can sell my goods and count my profit with no one helping me. I am grateful."-
Lonee Smith, 35, a student at the Firestone Liberia Natural Rubber Company’s adult literacy school in Margibi County
