The woman smiled and said, “Oh, You’re Mr Johnson’s younger son, right? I’ve seen your photo in your father’s office.”

She also used to volunteer at the mint festival every year, One summer she served food, another year she organized an art programme.

Sahra is reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book  together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about
