SAM: S461-NEW

November

2024

Sam failed first grade this year, not because he’s not hardworking. He truly tries his best, but he has a disability that makes it difficult for him to learn at a quicker pace. His disability impacts his ability to keep up with the pace of the class. In a school system like Liberia’s, where everyone is expected to be on the same page, it can be tough for Sam to catch up. There’s not a lot of extra support for children in his situation. Despite this, Sam is a joy to have around. He has a constant smile and a great attitude, making him a delightful presence in the class, even though he faces challenges with learning and speech. Sponsored by: Laurie Teubert
