EVELYN: S429-KIA

Evelyn was promoted to 2nd despite struggling initially to understand her teacher. She is determined to learn and improve, with the help of Girl Power providing her with shoes, books, a bag, and covering her school fees. While Evelyn finds it challenging to share her story, her mother expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the organization’s life-changing support. Sponsored by: Peggy & John Sundquist

Evelyn has been promoted to the first grade! She worked extremely hard this year, often staying after class for extra help. During our GPA registration interview, she said, “Ma, I’ve never worked so hard to achieve something.” Her determination and perseverance are truly commendable, especially for a 12-year-old, and we are very proud of her accomplishments.

Thanks to the generous donation from Phil Vasby, Evelyn has been re-enrolled into school for the 2021/2022 school year. She 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. Evelyn was kept in her current grade level of K-2 grade for the upcoming school year. She continues to live with her grandmother and still wants to be a teacher when she grows up.

Meet Evelyn, who has been generously sponsored by an Anonymous donor (Mohamad). She is 9 years old and is in the K-2 grade this year. She lives in Kialay, Liberia with her grandfather. Her mother abandoned her and her father shortly after her birth. Her father died in 2016 of tuberculosis. Her interests are properly educating her people and she hopes to be a teacher when she grows up.
