BERNICE: S66-SAN

Bernice was promoted to fifth grade! She is 13 years old and still dreams of becoming a nurse one day. Her favorite subject is math and science. After school she helps her mother with cooking dinner for the family. She enjoys cooking and her favorite soup is Cassava Leaf Soup served over rice. It is a traditional dish made with cassava leaves cooked in a flavorful sauce typically containing ingredients like palm oil, onions, peppers, and sometimes meat or fish. It’s a staple in Liberian cuisine, known for its rich, earthy flavor and nutritious qualities.

Bernice was promoted to 4th grade! She has been re-enrolled into school for the 2022/2023 school year.  She continues to live with her mother and dream of becoming a nurse one day. 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 Bernice and encourage her dream of becoming a nurse. Sponsored by: Donations from General Funds
