Large numbers of Asian women living in Britain speak little or no English. While Asian children are being educated to belong to this society, their mothers often remain cut off from it. Volunteer tutors in over 100 local schemes are helping such women to learn English and to cope more confidently with their surroundings. Many more volunteer tutors and helpers are now needed in view of the forthcoming TV series, Parosi, which aims to encourage Asian women to learn English.
Judith Chalmers introduces extracts from the Parosi series and shows how volunteers can help.
