ALVIN: S409-KIA

2024
Alvin was promoted to the second grade this year. For two years, he was sent to live with another family member because his mother could not afford to provide food and send both him and his siblings to school. However, Alvin eventually returned to his mother due to the poor treatment he experienced from the family he was staying with. Despite the challenges, Alvin was able to attend school while living with the other family, which allowed him to progress to the second grade. Now back with his mother, Alvin is thriving and doing well in school. Sponsored by: Stacy Peters

Thanks to the generous donation from Phil Vasby, Alvin has been re-enrolled into school for the 2021/2022 school year. He received an incomplete for the 2020-2021 school year. Due to COVID-19 outbreak, schools in Liberia had irregular school schedule. This combined with the lack of technology in the schools, some schools made the decision to keep students in their current grade level for the 2021-2022 school year. Alvin was kept in his current grade level of K1 grade for the upcoming school year. He continues to live with his mother and still wants to be a physician assistant when he grows up.
