This was the day we told Brenda that we'd support her through school.

We're Schooling Now

Brenda is doing really well in school. My blog posts have been less frequent because with my career as a teacher and Brenda now a full time student, our lives have gotten crazy busy! I'll try and do better at keeping things updated because her life here in the United States continues to amaze me. She is challenged and impressing her teachers with her dedication and progress. It really is a miracle that she is doing what she is doing. Can you believe that she is here, in school?! A year ago she was a refugee in Uganda with no idea that her life was about to transform. And now she'd doing this...

She received her first report card and received all As and a B. She says Physical Science is really hard so she got a B. She is feeling great about her work and everyone around her is incredibly proud of her. 

Thanks again to all the people that reached out and donated money to support her during the school year. (And those that will continue to give!) Without the support of others she would have been working in housekeeping, struggling to make ends meet with no options for the future. We are still a few thousand dollars short of supporting her through the entire school  year, so if you are able to donate it will still make a difference. 

Donations can be made directly to Brenda through me.
