Dear The School Fund Sponsors,

I hope this finds you well.

At Orkeeswa, one of our core values is: "Anything is possible." As a 9th grader, Lucia recently reflected on what this value means to her, and we wanted to share what she had to say with you.

“Regardless of how difficult something might be, I know I can always find a way to get through because anything is possible. As a student at Orkeeswa, I face peer pressure from my friends at home who either did not continue with secondary school or dropped out. When I don’t do well in my classes, I sometimes think of dropping out like my friends. However, at Orkeeswa, anything is possible, and I get the courage to fight against influences like this and put effort into my academics.”

Thank you for your continued support of Lucia and your investment that provides her with an opportunity to know her strength and to live our core value of "Anything is Possible".


Sincerely,
Orkeeswa
