Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated as it continues to make an impact on the future leaders in Sierra Leone.  Ibrahim is one of the students that recently received school fees and school supplies and he wrote a letter of appreciation included below that says

Hello, my name is Ibrahim B and I am 16 years old.  I live in the Kamawornie Village Kerena District in Sierra Leone. I am attending the Evangelical Junior Secondary School and I am in Junior Secondary School One (JSSI).  My best subject is social studies.  When I grow up, I would love to become a medical doctor. Thank you for all the school supplies. Love you all, from Ibrahim
