Annual Mashujaa Achievement Celebration marks the Black Heritage Month. We offer Community Outreach, Education and Literacy programme that are  designed to help and encourage disadvantaged members of the community.   We reach out and engage Blacks/African and non-Blacks/African residents in this process through education, dialogue and stronger social and cultural programming.    The Seniors A. E. L (Additional English Language) Conversation Group, guided by volunteers, this program provides a place, platform and time for older adults/seniors to work on basic reading skills, learn everyday conversation skills and have fun grasping the English language in an enjoyable setting. Participants learn the alphabet, pronunciation, and how to read short passages. 

Reading Circle.  Through reading simplified English novels and having meaningful conversations, adults and seniors improve their vocabulary and speaking and listening skills. Participants meet and connect with other community members, build healthy relationships, learn from one another, exchange book ideas and enhance their diverse literacy skills.
