Nora was proudly promoted to the fifth grade this year, and she is very proud of herself for this achievement. Her promotion reflects the same hard work, focus, and determination that her teachers continue to praise in the classroom. Nora remains a diligent and serious student who consistently does her best in her studies. She continues to live with her mother and holds tightly to her dream of becoming a nurse one day. Education remains very important to Nora, and she understands that school is the pathway to a better future. When asked about her greatest fear in life, Nora shared honestly that she is afraid of becoming pregnant, like one of her classmates who had to drop out of school. This experience has strengthened her determination to stay focused, make good choices, and complete high school before starting a family. She often prays that she will be able to finish her education and achieve her goals. Nora is deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue her education, and her commitment and maturity are inspiring. We are proud of her progress and thankful to her sponsor for making her schooling possible. Sponsored by: Elizabeth Mikkelson

Meet Nora, who has been generously sponsored by Lori Fischer Hall. She is 9 years old and in the K-2 grade this year. She lives in Gbayden, Liberia with her widowed mother. Nora’s father died several years ago when the gold mine he was working at clasped, killing all 12 people who were digging for gold at the time. Her interests are singing and she hopes to be a nurse when she grows up.
