I had taught English to a group of women in the community for three years. Primary school level English that wouldn't really make a difference in their life.
Zi Teng offers English classes as well.
So there were those women I had taught who sought, and probably still seek, some kind of upward mobility or perhaps just a better chance in getting a job through the English course. There are also those women who want to learn more English for their trade as some of their customers are foreigners. My students have been praised again and agian for their hard work and diligence. Keep learning; keeping improving yourself; keep adding value to yourself! Then there are those sex workers who take English courses. There won't be any hand clapping for them. So what is the difference?
I see many similarities between these two groups of people except the nature of their job (or maybe you won't agree that sex work is a job). Life is complex. Maybe too complex.
