Every year in August we have so many students who are hoping to go to school. Bernice Roy lives with Eric and Kamah in one of our sponsored Children’s Homes. She does not have to worry about school fees, they are provided! We have others waiting to see if they will get this privilege. They are hoping and praying!
Hope would be in Gr. 5 if there was someone to help her to school. Jefferson would be in Gr. 7.
All these students will be sponsored to school this year, except for Hope and Jefferson, unless we have some one to sponsor them. Schools in Liberia vary in price. The approximate cost for one student to attend school for one year is $ 250 to $ 300 USD. In Liberia each student needs to pay for black shoes $ 10 – $ 15, uniforms $ 10 – $ 15, book bags $ 10 and copy books and pens $ 5
