November
2023
Mary has been promoted to the second grade! She kept her promise to focus on school and worked tirelessly all year to ensure a successful pass. During our interview, she was a little shy but beamed with pride as she confidently announced her achievement. Despite facing personal challenges, Mary overcame them all and maintained her focus on school and her attendance. She still dreams of becoming a nurse one day and continues to live with her mother.

Mary’s attendance was poor, and she was retained in the first grade. She has promised to put her focus towards school and is determined to make a double promotion during this school year. Thank you for your inspiration and purpose to do well in school Girl Power sponsors. We know Mary is resilient and will do great this school year (and in life). Sponsored by: Warwick Barker

Thanks to the generous donation from Warwick Barker, Mary 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. Mary was kept in her current grade level of 1st grade for the upcoming school year. She continues to live with her mother and still wants to be a nurse when she grows up.
