Bertha's Testimonial
"I thought that at my age (67), I would never be able to learn English, but I joined the ESL classes at SEDES, and I am learning! I am also part of the Zumba program since 2011. It has helped me to lose more than 60 pounds and to bring my diabetes under control. Currently, I volunteer in the SEDES program as a Handicrafts instructor, and I am looking forward to new challenges."
