By Belen Dofitas, MD | Preisdent, Phil Leprosy Mission
Jayson, a Psychology student, reached out to Philippine Leprosy Mission last October 2020 when he browsed our website and learned about our educational assistance project fundraiser through GlobalGiving:) He had just started treatment for leprosy but was determined to finish college. However, he did not want to trouble his family --a very supportive family actually--and so he sought ways to ease the financial burden. Jayson receives monthly support for his internet expenses because all schooling has been conducted online since the COVID pandemic began. At the end of the semester, we are very pleased to report that Jayson has garnered good grades. After graduation, He plans to pay it forward to other persons affected by leprosy as a Psychology major. We are currently inviting more scholars among the Hansen's Club members and we aim to enrol more PALS during this quarter. Thank you to all our donors and supporters!
