Thanks to the generous donation from Gary Kelsey, Jonathon has been re-enrolled into school for the 2021/2022 school year. He received an incomplete for the 2020/2021 school year. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, schools in Liberia had irregular school schedules. 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. Jonathan was kept in his current grade level of 5th grade for the upcoming school year. He is now living with his uncle and still wants to be a teacher when he grows up.
