Feature: Literacy class offers rare 2nd chance for Yemeni uneducated women

SANAA, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- "I have never dreamt that one day I could sit in a classroom and learn how to read and write," said Amaal Ahmed Ghalib, a 60-year-old Yemeni woman from a village near Yemen's capital Sanaa.

The lady, who had never attended a school before, sat with a dozen of women in the classroom, whose ages ranged from the 20s to 60s, and learned the spelling of Arabic alphabets and basic words.
