PA Department of Corrections Executive Deputy Secretary, John Wetzel visited with various OIC affiliate leaders at the Philadelphia OIC on June 22nd.

Fatumata started as a beginner and has progressed to the Intermediate Level of ESL. She came to class last night and proudly showed her instructor a letter from her employer , Hampton Inn in Downingtown.

Hampton Inn recognized Fatumata for “dedication to your responsibilities …” She has been selected as the Champion of the Month.

And as she showed us the letter, she told her classmates that when she first came to OIC she couldn’t speak any English!
