Lydia received a double promotion this year and is now in the fourth grade. Her favorite subject is English, and her teacher reports that she is doing extremely well in class. Once shy, Lydia is growing more confident and has become one of the leaders in her school, helping her classmates and setting a positive example. She is extremely grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Girl Power Africa program and to continue her education. Lydia’s dedication, progress, and emerging leadership make her a role model for her peers, and we are very proud of her.

Eleven-year-old Lydia got a double promotion and is now in first grade! Her attention and hard work in school paid off! She’s determined to work hard this school year to get another double promotion. Her goal is to catch up with her grade level appropriate class within the next two years. She still lives with her grandmother as her parents abandoned her at an early age. Oftentimes, in Liberia, when young parents are emotionally and financially unable to address the care of a child the grandparent(s) are saddled with the responsibility of raising the child. Such is Lydia’s case. Her grandmother thanked GPA for playing a parental role in the life of Lydia by supporting her educational journey. It sometimes takes a “global” village to raise a child.

Meet Lydia, who has been generously sponsored by Renee Girouard. She is 9 years old and is going to school for the first time in ABC. She lives in Borsonnor Town, Liberia with her grandmother. The grandmother is taking care of her and does not really know why Lydia was abandoned by her parents. Her interests are helping her grandmother to cook and she hopes to be a nurse when she grows up.
