We are happy to report that our learners receiving assistance through the GlobalGiving donations are doing well in school.
MG, the mother of an 11 year old student, showed me a recent report card, all with passing and good grades. This despite the constant separation of mother and child while MG is confined in a sanitarium for her chronic foot ulcers which get infected on and off.
Our medical student is now in 4th year medical clerkship, which means full-time hospital work. She receives educational assistance funds for her daily travel and snacks. By the end of this schoolyear, she will be eligible for graduation. Let us pray for her successful completion of medical training!
The daughter of one of our Hansen's Club members GC is continuing her second year in college taking Tourism management, garnering excellent grades. She is highly motivated to succeed in her chosen career.
One of our Hansen's Club Officers AC completed her first year of studies in a Ministry school earlier this year. According to her, she has also being trained to speak in English and become better in public speaking (Practical Ministry, Major in English). She is now in her second year of studies, Associate in Biblical Studies. Annie messaged me that she always thanks God that PLM helped her change her life.
We are blessed to have our donors from GlobalGiving. Your regular contributions have enabled our Persons affected by leprosy (PALs) to continue their schooling and get closer to reaching their dreams. May PLM be able to support more PALs through your valuable contributions!
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas to all!
