Friday's Featured Student - From a Rough Begining to a Bright Future

After loosing both parents Douglas had no one to turn to and was helped by Fanuel (the school director) by giving him the chance to live in Holly House, where he gets his basic needs met,  including an education and 3 meals a day. He joined Holly House in class three and he is now in form one and doing very well in his studies. 

Despite the hardships in his life, Douglas is proving to be a rising star.  He recently came in 11th out of 67  and scored 658 out of 700 in his latest exams .  He dreams of one day becoming a teacher and with encouragement from a caring sponsor, he just may do it.

Douglas had this to say 
“I need more support in revision books and math table, calculator and geometrical set. I believe in education and will always do my best to achieve the best.”

Douglas recently lost his sponsor and although nothing will ever replace his parents, he really needs a caring sponsor to help encourage him to keep studying hard to achieve his dreams.

Douglas's sponsorship fees are $30/month which covers school fees, 3 meals a day and room. Co-sponsors are available at $15/month.
