From Pessimism to Optimism: Appreciation Video From Theresa

By Sylvester Renner | Project Coordinator

Dear friends,

When we first met Theresa she was pregnant and pessimistic.

This was just after the Ebola Epidemic.

Together we provided psycho-social counseling. We supported her financially as she finished school and was admitted into college. We have supported her each college year.

Now, she is in the final year of her Public Health program.

You can see from her smile that her life is now different.

She is optimistic and full of hope.

She is looking forward to serving as a Public Health expert.

Public Health experts are needed globally. This is needed particularly today when the Corona Virus is making news and disrupting lives each day.

Together we have achieved 2 things:

We helped Theresa achieve her dreams.
We contributed towards capacity building and national public health.

Thank you for making a difference!

We are excited to share a video update from Theresa. In this video, she thanks YOU for helping her get to her final year in college. Be sure to check out her appreciation video here. To watch the video, you can also click/tap on her photo above.

Thanks so much for all you are doing.

Sylvester, Amy, and the Develop Africa Team
