Neomie is a 7-year-old girl who was promoted to the second grade this year. She is a very shy girl, and while she loves going to school, her home life is challenging. Neomie is not being well cared for at home, and as a result, her body appears a little unhealthier this year. Despite these difficulties, Neomie continues to enjoy school and is eager to learn. She shows great resilience, and her love for education shines through even in the face of adversity. Sponsored by: Phil Vasby

Eight-year-old Neomie’s childhood is rife with ups, downs, and uncertainties. Extenuating circumstances beyond her control is forcing her to grow up fast. However, Neomie is hopeful and certain that one day she will be a medical doctor. Oftentimes, hope is all that is constant in the lives of children like Neomie who depend on extended family and handouts from neighbors to exist. Neomie and her aunt feel blessed by the steady support of GPA. The assurance of being supported to remain in school is critical to nurturing Neomie’s hopes. What a privilege to support Neomie’s dream to be a medical doctor! Sponsored by: Donations from General Funds

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

Meet Neomie, who has been generously sponsored by Susan Lambert. She is 6 years old and is in the K-1 grade this year. She lives in Borsonnor, Liberia with her aunt. After Neomie was abandoned at birth, her aunt took her in to raise. Unfortunately, the aunt is unemployed and is finding it difficult to send Neomie to school. Her interests are washing clothes in the river and she hopes to be a medical doctor when she grows up.
