Note to Sponsor:

This year in Liberia, many public schools conducted a reassessment of students. Based on the results, some children—including your sponsored student—were placed in a lower grade or asked to repeat a grade to better match their current learning level. This adjustment is not due to any wrongdoing or lack of effort—it is simply to ensure they are in the grade where they can learn, grow, and succeed with confidence. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Victoria has been promoted to the second grade! She continues to excel in her studies, with a new love for writing. Her teacher praises her as a good student with a positive attitude, and she is known for encouraging her classmates to strive harder and believe in themselves. Victoria’s passion for learning is evident as she actively participates in class and excels in her favorite subjects, writing, reading and math. At home, Victoria takes on the responsibility of helping with cooking for the family. She continues to live with her aunt, who provides her with love and support. Victoria dreams of becoming a nurse one day, driven by her compassion and desire to care for others. Sponsored by: Joyce Jorgensen

Meet Victoria, who has been generously sponsored by Frederick & Bulleh Norkeh. She is 8 years old and is going to school for the first time this year in ABC. Victoria lives in Sanniquellie, Liberia with her aunt.  Victoria’s mother passed away while in childbirth when Victoria was 2 years. Victoria’s father, whom she was living with, passed away in 2015. She is currently living with her aunt who has children of her own and could not afford to send Victoria to school.  She hopes to be a nurse when she grows up. (Please note: We were unable to get a picture of Victoria this year because she had a bad case of pink eye and we sent her home with her school materials).
