The Literacy Center of West Michigan names Nash Hirwa as our Citizenship and Community ESL Coordinator

Nash Hirwa has joined the team as the Citizenship and Community ESL Coordinator.

"My passion for education comes from living in different communities and countries. I was raised in a small country in East Africa. Growing up my parents traveled a lot for work and that allowed me to learn 5 languages before I was 15.

I speak fluent English, French, Swahili, Kinyarwanda, and Kirundi. When I finished high school, I started working as a translator and I later transitioned into IT. From my experience, I believe IT and English are the best recipe for my success. I can’t wait to bring all my experience to the people we serve and see them succeed."
