Thanks to the generous donation from Jennifer Parker, Lovena 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. Lovena was kept in her current grade level of 3rd grade for the upcoming school year. She continues to live with her driver and still wants to be a aunt when she grows up.

Thanks to the generous donation from Jennifer Parker, Lovina has been re-enrolled into school for the 2019-2020 school year. Please note that Lovina’s hair was shaved off due to the following reason: In some parts of Liberia, women, especially first daughters and wives, are known to shave off their heads when grieving their husbands, mothers, fathers, and grandparent’s death, as a sign of respect to the dead and as a new beginning. Princess’ grandmother passed away about 3 months ago.
