Marie: S756-GBA

Marie was promoted to the third grade this year, and she continues to shine with her determination and resilience. Her favorite subject is math, where she excels and enjoys solving problems. Despite her young age, Marie shoulders significant responsibilities at home. After school, she goes straight to the market to buy food for the family. She then makes several trips to the creek, hauling about 10 gallons of water for cooking and cleaning. Once the water is fetched, Marie prepares the meals, cleans the house, and ensures everything is in order before settling down to complete her assignments. Marie is an incredibly hardworking girl, balancing her education and household responsibilities with remarkable dedication. We are so proud of her perseverance and commitment to her studies!

Marie was promoted to 3rd grade and still dreams of becoming a lawyer one day.  During GPA distributions she was in tears with gratitude for the scholarship and the opportunity to attend school. She continuously kept saying “thank you, thank you, thank you.” She continues to live with her mother. Sponsored by: Kage Haeck

Twelve-year-old Marie is in 2nd grade and lives with her mother and five siblings.  She wants to be a lawyer when she grows up.  Marie loves cooking and she cooks daily for their household.  Marie’s mother comes from the farming activities late in the evening. She depends upon Marie to come home from school and make the evening meal for the family.  Normally, that evening meal is the only complete meal the family has for that day.  Marie takes pride in her ability to help her mother out. Marie is thankful for the scholarship which keeps her enrolled in school. Sponsored by: Bonita Daggett
