Thelma was promoted to the second grade this year, and she is doing well in her studies. She shared that her favorite subject is science, and she loves eating potato grains with rice. After school, Thelma takes on responsibilities at home by washing the dishes and cleaning the house. However, she deeply misses her siblings, whom she is no longer allowed to see. When she does get a chance to visit them, she feels down for a while before eventually bouncing back into her regular routine. Despite this, Thelma remains a hardworking and resilient young girl, and we are proud of her determination. Sponsored by: Lindsey O’Brien.

Meet seven-year-old Thelma who lives with her big sister in Duazon. Thelma attends Duazon Public School and is in kindergarten-2 class. She wants to be a nurse when she grows up. Thelma has six siblings who have been divided up between her parents (who live in another town) and her big sister. Thelma’s parents cannot adequately provide for all their children and the younger ones were sent to live in their oldest daughter household. Thelma’s family is happy for this scholarship opportunity.
