Tutu: S731-SOP

Tutu was promoted to the first grade this year, and although her teacher mentioned that she is a bit slower at learning, she is making steady progress. Tutu is beginning to enjoy reading more than she did last year, showing growth and improvement in her skills. What stands out most about Tutu is her consistency. She is always on time for school and is dedicated to her schoolwork. Her teacher speaks very highly of her, praising her for her determination and effort. Tutu may take her time, but she is showing steady improvement, and we are proud of her commitment to doing her best. Sponsored by: Amy Witthuhn

Tutu is promoted to kindergarten-2 and continues to live with her parents.  She still dreams of becoming a mechanic one day. Sponsored by: Amy Witthuhn

Nine-year-old Tutu wants to be a mechanic when she grows up.  Tutu is in pre-kindergarten class and lives with her parents and eight siblings.  A subsistence farming family providing for nine children is no small feat in Liberia.  The average yearly income is equivalent to $800 USD.  Parents must leverage their income with opportunities to expand their financial and material resources.  Along with subsistence farming, Tutu’s parents raise chickens as a “savings account”.  When things are hard, they sell a few chickens.  Tutu said, “I love playing around cars” and visits a local mechanic shop in her town.  A dream of being a mechanic!! She has the motivation and drive to make it happen. Sponsored by: Amy Witthuhn
