In this part of Canada, there are many kids of immigrant families who don't know English when they start school (there are some schools, both urban and suburban, where 75%+ students don't come from an English speaking home). Because they were born in an English speaking community, they don't always qualify for ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. I'd like to start a charity/fund/program to help these kids become fluent quickly so they can understand what the teacher is saying, and so that they don't have to isolate themselves from the class.
