Every Thursday evening, Kevin Dickson arrives at the offices of Wind of the Spirit on Morristown's Market Street with a new English lesson in hand. In a small room about 10 by 12 feet, crammed with 20 plastic school desks and a whiteboard, Dickson teaches basic English to immigrants from Honduras, Mexico and Guatemala.
They are eager students, even though a few are timid to try out these new words. On a recent Thursday, Dickson drew a simple grid on the board with six intersecting streets: First, Second and Third; Main, Green and Broad. Small squares and rectangles represented the library, supermarket, fire and police departments, church, school, bakery and train station.
