With great thanks for your contribution, it is wonderful to receive so much from you. Every little bit adds up and eventually with the help of people like you, we will be able to achieve real change. VAAFD family takes great pleasure in saying thank you for your donation. You truly have a generous spirit and one that will help so many. We say thanks to globalgiving and our donors for their support toward our programs. We have just completed this academic year and we are beyond grateful for all of your support.

Carolyn A. Miller High School celebrated a great end of school year on the 16th of June, 2023.  This year-end party was organized by the school administration. It was a time given to students and staff to gather together to review, reflect and have fun. Our students celebrated this day with great zeal and enthusiasm. The makeup of this program was a series of activities. These activities include a kick-ball game, foot-ball games, dancing competition, singing competition and lastly, an intense speech by the principal.

 Abigail, a student of the 8th grade class, thanked the administration and staff for impacting knowledge and being patient with them throughout the school year. She said, “I am experiencing mixed feelings. I am feeling happy because I have successfully come to the end of my 8th grade year and am also sad because I will be separated from my amazing teachers and friends”.

The English teacher, Mr. Major said; “Saying goodbye to the students is so hard. The kids that we teach are precious to us, and our time together was worth it. After spending a whole year working together, it’s difficult to imagine our classrooms without them”.

In the end, the principal, Rev. Gueh, made an intense speech. In his goodbye message, he gave his students some pieces of advice, to be followed throughout their lives. He also made an emotional appeal to his students to keep trying, even when it gets tough. He told them to root out fear and take action towards their goals. Rev. Gueh told his students to carry out good behavior because attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference, and they should also act the way they'd like to be and soon they'll be the way they act. After his encouraging words, there was a time given for pictures.

This academic year couldn’t have been completed successfully without your donations. None of our success would have been possible without generous donors like you. Thank you again for your commitment and kindness.
