Twelve-year-old Lucky has been sponsored by GPA for five years and was promoted to K-2. She has had a rocky four years. She must walk four miles one way to get to school. We are hopeful that her health and strength will improve as she ages, and the walk to school will be more manageable and Lucky’s academic progress will improve. She still wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Sponsored by: Lori Kilstrom Higgins

Thanks to the generous donation from Kathy Gibson, Lucky 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. Lucky was kept in her current grade level of K-1 grade for the upcoming school year. She continues to live with her mother and still wants to be a doctor when she grows up.

Meet Lucky, who has been generously sponsored by the Rock Prairie Presbyterian Church. She is 7 years old and has never been to school. She’s now enrolled in the ABC grade. She lives in Karnla, Liberia with her mother. About nine months ago, Lucky’s father was fed with up life. He packed up and fled to the neighboring country (Guinea) leaving behind his wife and children who were dependent on him for their survival. Lucky has never been to school and had come to Girl Power for educational assistance. She hopes to be a medical doctor when she grows up.
