November
2023
Saye, at the age of 19, achieved a significant milestone by being promoted to fifth grade, bringing him closer to his ultimate goal of graduating from high school and pursuing his dream of becoming a mechanic. Despite the challenges he faces, including caring for his disabled mother, Saye demonstrates remarkable determination and resilience. After school, he navigates the bustling streets of Liberia, selling soft drinks under the scorching sun, weaving between cars in traffic, all in the hope of earning enough to support himself and his family. His relentless work ethic and unwavering dedication to his aspirations inspire those around him, painting a portrait of resilience in the face of adversity. Sponsored by: Joyce Jorgensen
