Thanks to the generous donation from Terry & Kathleen Holmes, Wonkemee 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. Wonkemee 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 teacher when she grows up.

2018

Please meet Wonkemee, who has been generously sponsored by Bulleh Bablitch-Norkeh as a special birthday gift for Olivia Ibeling. She is 7 years old and is going to school for the first time this year. She’ll be in ABC.. Wonkemee lives in Barpa, Liberia with her grandmother. After the death of Wonkemee’s father, her mother took she and her siblings to their grandmother’s house with the understanding that she would be back shortly for the kids. But she has not yet returned. Wonkemee’s grandmother is unemployed, blind, and could not afford to send the children to school. She hopes to be a teacher when she grows up.
