2024
Oretha was promoted to the third grade this year and is a very quiet and shy girl. Despite her reserved nature, she has big dreams and hopes to become a model when she grows up. Her love for math shines through in her work, and her teacher has noted that she excels in this subject. Although Oretha is still a little shy, she is gradually gaining confidence among her peers. She continues to focus on her studies and is quietly dedicated to doing her best. Even though she may not be the loudest in the classroom, her hard work and determination speak volumes. We are excited to see how Oretha continues to grow and develop both academically and personally. She is a wonderful student, and we are proud of her progress and the strides she’s making in building her confidence. We look forward to all the great things she will achieve in the future!

Oretha was promoted to second grade! She loves school and wears her uniform with pride. While she tried on her brand new uniform at GPA school distributions, she walked up and down like a fashion runway. She still lives with her grandmother and still dreams of becoming a mechanic one day. Sponsored by: Kage Haeck

Oretha struggled with an ongoing illness during most of her school year and her attendance dropped. She was retained in first grade. She was disappointed that she was not promoted; especially because she got a double promotion last year due to great academic performance. Her health condition has improved. Disappointed, but ready for a challenge, Oretha is looking forward to going back to school. Thanks to GPA’s amazing sponsors for giving Oretha a chance to go back to improve her academic performance and move forward with her life goals. Feisty little one she is! It’s not usual for Liberian girls to stray into male dominated vocational areas but Oretha is determined she will someday be a mechanic! Sponsored by: Masako Lackey

Meet Oretha, who has been generously sponsored by Parker & Michelle Connelly. She is 8 years old and is in the K-1 grade this year. She lives in Suakazue Town, Liberia with her grandmother. Her father died of alcohol poisoning and her mother abandoned her. The grandmother is old and sick and unable to feed or care for them. Her interests are making things work better and she hopes to be a mechanic when she grows up.
