As we begin the New Year, the GLK Student Fund is happy to announce two new scholarship recipients: Editha and Eveline.
Editha has just started preschool in the village of Ntoma today. She was previously living in an abusive home in a dangerous situation. Fortunately, Editha had caring neighbors who noticed what was happening and safely extracted her from the home under the authority of the village elders. They also contacted a trustee of the GLK Student Fund to share Editha's story and request scholarship help.
Editha is happy to be in a school where she can learn and grow with little worry. She even started off her school year with an Obama backpack! Since living in a safe environment, her health has also improved greatly. When she left her home she only weighed 15 kg, and now is at a much healthier weight of 22 kg.
Thank you again to the students of École à Champel and all of those who generously supported the initiative for Editha.
