Sr. Prisca Chuzu, Zambia
"Learning for Humanity has empowered me with knowledge on many issues. As a result of the Nutrition Path, I can now competently screen children for malnutrition using MUAC tape. I am also planning cooking demonstrations for women and mothers."
Sr. Mary Ann Guevara, DC, Phillipines
“I enjoyed learning about affective and effective leadership. I applied the course material to my day-to-day ministry. I hope and pray that I continue my leadership role and build new leaders along the way. L4H will always be there for me.”
Sr. Inah Alyssa Ellana, DC, Philippines
“L4H provides a simple yet profound and helpful avenue to learn, re-learn, and unlearn. The staff is amicable and accommodating and is willing to help. I understood the essentials of communication. I am implementing it in my apostolate here on the island with the indigenous peoples.”
Sr. Gloria González, Dominican Sister of the Presentation, Haiti
“I have improved my management skills with a sense of leadership and teamwork to serve vulnerable children in Haiti. Each module is well structured and pedagogical, with simple and practical work. It is truly a complement to our mission’s quality.”
Sr Francelène Labbé, Sister of Charity of Saint Hyacinthe, Haiti
“Because of L4H, I now manage the pharmacy better, without breaking my head. I didn't know how to write a project, but thanks to L4H, I can even analyze a project. The courses are exciting; as soon as I open one, I can't stop myself from leaving it.”
