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.

His mother has been supporting the family through casual jobs. Raymond dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon in future because he wants to help people with mental problems. Also, there are few neurosurgeons in the country. He is very outgoing and enjoys drawing to improve his skills. Despite the challenges he faced, he believed in hard work and emerged as the best student in his school. For sure, hard work never goes unrewarded.
