Client Testimonials

“I liked the method of teaching. It made it very easy for me to learn. Now I'm able to read signs when I'm driving and I am able to read my text messages. Before I used to take it to someone else to read; now I can read it myself and I'm understanding what I'm reading.”

"I am so grateful for this program and that you are providing a tutor for my children. My daughter is doing much better even though she still needs to practice more. My son is struggling, and I don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have this tutoring program. Thank you so much! ”

We’re pleased to welcome Rotary Toronto Eglinton as a new supporter of Project Abraham’s  Homework Club.

Their generous support helps us continue strengthening this one-on-one tutoring program. With their support, we’ve hired new tutors and added Science to the list of topics we support. 

 

 On Oct. 4, Support Team Yezidi!

Project Abraham’s annual fundraiser, Ride for Refuge, is taking place Saturday October 4th, and the Yezidi community has formed a team to join us on our walk*! They’re hoping to raise $500 for Project Abraham. Right now, they’re at zero, but with your help we know that you can help them reach (or even exceed!) their goal.

Please show Team Yezidi your support by donating to them at Ride for Refuge.

We’ve been so fortunate again this year to have Primrose Bagel Co. support our Ride for Refuge. They’re donating a deluxe spread of their famous hand rolled, malt boiled bagels with all the trimmings (did I hear someone say “lox”?!?). We encourage everyone to drop in to Primrose at 317 Oakwood Avenue, Toronto, to bring home some of their fresh goodness and show your appreciation for their generosity to Project Abraham.
