-Notes From Jesse-
When I was involved with the Manhattan Bible School after school program, I noticed a child that had a harder time reading and writing then most of the other children. His name was Anderson and he is in the second grade. I continued working with him and came to the conclusion that he was dyslexic. I realized that like a lot of inner city students, he might not be getting the help he needs to overcome his dyslexia. So I asked around to see if he was acknowledged by his school as a dyslexic child. I quickly found out that his school did recognize him as a dyslexic child and that he was getting the help he needs. It was just that the tutor at Manhattan Bible School did not know at the time that he was dyslexic because she was overwhelmed by the number students that she had (22 students). She then proceeded to call his parents to verify this and the matter was quickly resolved. Although this might have been a small matter it was awesome to see God at work by bringing me into Anderson’s life. To help me relate as well as help Anderson along in a struggle that I once had to deal with. I find that to be no coincidence, that’s God at work.
