YAH: S664-SOP

Yah was promoted to the first grade this year, but unfortunately, she did not pass and has to repeat the class. She lives with her mother, who became seriously ill during the school year, and Yah had to stay home to care for her. For about a month and a half, and then off and on throughout the school year, Yah was unable to attend school regularly, which affected her ability to complete her studies. Despite the challenges she faced at home, Yah’s teachers have said that she is a very good student, and they are glad to have her back in school. Yah told us that her favorite subject is spelling, and she has made a promise that she will work hard this year and pass her grade. We believe in her determination, and we are excited to see her succeed in the coming year.. Sponsored by: Joyce Jorgensen

Thanks to the generous donation from Joyce Jorgensen, Yah 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. Yah was kept in her current grade level of K-1 grade for the upcoming school year. She continues to live with her mother and still wants to be a pastor when she grows up.

Meet Yah, who has been generously sponsored by Joyce Jorgensen on behalf of the estate of Dennis Valstad. She is 8 years old and is in the K-1 grade this year. She lives in Sopea, Liberia with her mother. Her father died of a suspected stroke a few years ago. He was complaining of pains in his hand and he died the following day. Her interests are to preach the gospel and sing and she hopes to be a pastor when she grows up.
