As part of our ongoing effort to help our Branch members build and understand their knowledge of the Gospel, as well as to help them develop skills that will enhance their ability to gain employment, we have developed several courses that hopefully will make a difference. Dian has been teaching an LDS Institute class each week to a group young adults from our Branch.

Unemployment here is very high, but if you have a drivers license, you are almost guaranteed a job. But getting a license is not easy............ and it quite expensive. With that in mind, I have been teaching a drivers education course. It won't help with the cost, but will give them a better chance of passing the rather difficult drivers test.

Dian is also developing a class on public speaking, patterned after Toastmasters which she has belonged to for the past 15 years. In addition, she is also putting together a literacy class for those members who are having difficulty reading or speaking English.

Below is a picture of Dian 's Institute class which is held every Saturday morning at Ntombiyakhe Dayile's house in the Namato township.
