Princess has been promoted to second grade! She had a great school year, spending many days staying late to get extra help from her teacher. Her hard work and dedication paid off, and she surprised herself by becoming one of the top students in her class. She still lives with her grandfather and dreams of becoming a nurse one day.

Thanks to the generous donation from Bonita Daggett, Princess 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. Princess was kept in her current grade level of K-2 grade for the upcoming school year. She continues to live with her grandmother and still wants to be a nurse when she grows up. Please note: The town was practically deserted due to the outbreak of the Marburg Virus in the neighboring Guinea. Therefore, majority of the students from this town were not present to receive their school materials. Their school materials were left with the school authority to be given to our students upon their arrival.

*The roads leading to Lugbeyee are in extremely poor condition. They consist of dirt roads that are often muddy, particularly during the rainy season, and bridges constructed from wooden blocks. Whenever we visit, we typically encounter challenges such as getting stuck in the mud, having to push the car out, and requiring everyone to exit the vehicle to cross the bridge while hoping to make it safely across.*
