SALT (Somali Adult Literacy Training)- Michael S. Neterer, Director

One of the things we at the Salvage Yard like to do, as a church, is tithe to other ministries so that we can bless others
as God has blessed us. Last month Tim Decker came to speak to our church about SALT. I contacted Michael
Neterer , the director of SALT who shared this information about the ministry.— Mike ed.
Somali Adult Literacy Training ( SALT ) was started in 2003 by Michael Neterer in partnership
with Yaqub Mohamed , a Somali pastor, to improve the English & literacy skills of Somali refugees in
Minnesota . Pastor Mohamed emphasized the need for American-Somali friendship, as an integral part
of language & literacy learning. Therefore, our program emphasizes one-on-one tutoring, in addition to
teacher-led classes. This formula has proved successful and with help from over 500 volunteers SALT
has helped over 500 Somali English-language learners at six outreach sites, since 2003. The character of
this program is relational, rather than institutional. This project seeks to overcome the barriers of lan-
guage and transportation and address differences in culture and religion with kindness and respect to en-
courage friendship between Somali and English-speaking American adults.
