Anita has been promoted to the sixth grade! Throughout the year, she exhibited unwavering determination to succeed in her studies. Her teacher notes that Anita was consistently one of the first students to arrive at school each day and often stayed after class for additional support, demonstrating her commitment and perseverance. We are very proud of Anita for her hard work and dedication to her education. Despite the challenges, she remains steadfast in her dream of becoming a nurse one day. Anita continues to live with her aunt and uncle. Sponsored by: Ashley Hughes

Anita was retained in the 5th grade. She was worried that she might not be sponsored for the next school year. Thankfully GPA believes in second chances and all of our students deserve a second (or third…) chance. Anita still wants to be a nurse one day and continues to live with her aunt and uncle.

Thanks to the generous donation from Ashley Hughes, Anita has been re-enrolled into school for the 2021/2022 school year. She was promoted to the 5th grade this year and still wants to be a nurse when she grows up. Nurses and health care workers in general are sorely needed in Liberia where access to medical care is challenged by a limited number of health facilities and workers. GPA is honored to walk alongside Anita and encourage her dream of becoming a nurse.

Meet Anita, who has been generously sponsored by Ashley Hughes. She is 10 years old and in the 3rd grade this year. Anita lives in Sanniquellie, Liberia with her aunt and uncle. About 3 years ago, Anita’s father left his wife and 8 children to go search for employment in the neighboring country of Guinea. Since he left, they have not heard from him. They pray that he is ok and will return home safely. In the meantime, the wife is having a difficult time supporting her and the 8 children. She had given Anita to her sister in-law to help raise and support her. The sister in-law too has her own family and has been unable to send Anita to school on a regular basis. Anita hopes to be a nurse when she grows up.
