🥳Congratulations to all the Access Scholars and to their fabulous Access teachers! ❤ We see you English language teachers from West Africa -- Braima Embalo🇬🇼, Bakary Sissoko 🇲🇱, Ana Traore 🇲🇱, and Moussa Ndaw 🇸🇳. Keep up the great work!🙌

Parabéns, Braima! 🎉
Estamos muito felizes por celebrar o reconhecimento de Braima Embaló como um dos Educadores Mais Empenhados do mês de abril na Comunidade de Prática online do Access!

Esta conquista reflete a dedicação de Braima em aplicar o que aprendeu no Programa Fulbright de Excelência e Realização no Ensino, incluindo o ensino a alunos do Programa de Língua Inglesa do Access em Bissau.
A proficiência na língua inglesa abre portas aos alunos guineenses para universidades americanas, parcerias com empresas dos EUA e redes profissionais. Educadores como Braima, formados através de programas dos EUA, criam gerações de falantes de inglês capazes de interagir com empresas e instituições americanas — reforçando laços que servem os interesses de ambas as nações.
O compromisso de Braima com a excelência educativa demonstra o impacto duradouro dos programas de intercâmbio dos EUA na Guiné-Bissau!

English empowers learners with skills for today and the future. Great job, English Language Fellow, Amanda Cady and American Corner Kara. Have you visited an American Space? Share your experience in the comments?
