Public speaking used to be a fear of mine, but after joining the drama club, I have gained confidence. Performing in a school play was a highlight of my year! I am also doing well in my studies, and I appreciate your generous support.
Hi, I’m Shirleen Mokeira from Grade 9. Your generosity has made a huge difference in my life by enabling me to continue my education. I love participating in the science club and sports activities, which have taught me teamwork and leadership skills. I aspire to become a healthcare professional and make a positive impact in communities that lack medical services. I deeply appreciate your support and belief in my potential.
