Today was spent with all of our students in the secondary sponsorship program. We had a fantastic time! What a dynamic group of young people!! Carolyn spoke to the group about kindness, and a challenge was made to 'Pay it Forward' as they have been blessed with so many gifts and talents as well as sponsors who have helped to pay their secondary school education. This sparked quite a discussion regarding students forming a fund for 'Savings and Credit' that they would all put into that will help any students in the program that have a need, and maybe even others that need fees! This expanded to all people within the diocesan programs that have been sponsored to be invited to contribute - this would extend to our two veterinarians! Was quite inspiring to see this develop. We have left them to figure out all the logistics, and are planning on heading back in 30 minutes to see what they have come up with!

After lunch, all of the students that are in our Post-Secondary program came to meet with us. This included the five new ones who have qualified for a bursary for the upcoming university year. We had a fantastic conversation, they shared the positives and the struggles, they asked lots of questions about school in Canada, and the returning students gave very good advice for those starting in September! We are extremely confident that we will see this group of young men and women being very successful and making quite a difference in their communities!!

As in years past, all the students expressed their gratitude for the support they've been given! I wish all sponsors could hear it!!! We took some video to bring back and share!
