Maroline is now 17 years old and has been promoted to the eighth grade. She continues to show strong dedication to her education and remains serious about her studies. Despite limited support at home, she keeps pushing forward with determination and focus. This year, Maroline shared that her favorite subjects are history and physical education. She enjoys learning about the past and staying active, and she continues to grow both academically and personally. When asked what motivates her, she said it is knowing that someone believes in her and continues to support her education. That encouragement gives her the strength to keep going. Maroline also shared a concern about turning 18 and wondered if support would continue as she grows older. She was reassured that as long as she remains committed to her education and continues working toward completing high school, she will still be supported. This brought her great relief and renewed hope for her future. Maroline’s quiet determination and gratitude show her deep desire to build a better life through education. A heartfelt thank you goes to her sponsor for continuing to make this opportunity possible. Sponsored by: Natalie Buhl

Meet Maroline, who has been generously sponsored by Dawn Sullivan. She is 10 years old and in kindergarten-2 this year. Maroline lives in Sanniquellie, Liberia with her parents and 8 siblings. Three of the siblings are in school and the remaining five are not. Maroline said during our interview; “I’m nervous because the chances of me getting sponsored by Girl Power are not in my favor. I’m scared to my stomach because I really want to go.” She was SO surprised and so grateful for this opportunity to go to school this year! She hopes to be a teacher when she grows up.
