EMMANUEL: S712-SUA

Emmanuel was promoted to the second grade this year, and his journey has been nothing short of inspiring. In the past, Emmanuel would stand outside the classroom window, eagerly listening to the lessons as a way of learning, because he didn’t have the chance to attend school. Thanks to Girl Power, Emmanuel was given the opportunity to actually enter a classroom, and now he’s thriving. He is extremely grateful for the chance to learn, and it shows in everything he does. His teacher says he’s always the first to raise his hand when a question is asked, eager to participate and learn. Emmanuel walks into school every day with a big smile on his face, radiating happiness and gratitude. His dedication and joy are truly inspiring, and we are so honored to be part of his journey.

GPA has proven to students like Emmanuel that raw determination pays off. Emmanuel is no longer trying to get an education by looking through the windows of classes at the school in his town. His family could not afford to send him to school, but he was determined to learn. Thanks to GPA’s amazing sponsors, Emmanuel is now an active and confident participant in school who received a double promotion from nursery class to kindergarten-2. He also won first place in his class participation. Sponsored by: Steven Terrell Crawford

A story that’ll touch your hearts! Look at 5 years old Emmanuel’s transformation. Emmanuel’s mother could not afford to send him to school. So, he used to peek through the classroom windows and listen to teachers, as they taught their lessons. From there, he learned to spell and read some words. The day that he was selected by our team to sponsor him for a year of education, he became an instant celebrity in his village. Sponsored by: Steven Terrell Crawford.

Meet Emmanuel, who has been generously sponsored by Steven Terrell Crawford. He is 5 years old and has never been to school (well, at least in a classroom of his own). He lives in Suakazue Town, Liberia with his unemployed single mother who has 5 children. Emmanuel goes on the school campus and listens to the teachers through the widows. From that experience, he can read some words and can spell a lot of words. He was crying when the GPA team went to the school for their back-to-school distributions. Our co-founder, Frederick Norkeh, heard his story and was so inspired that he added Emmanuel to our GPA sponsored students program. His interests are learning, and he doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up.
