A request.

This is Frans. 


Last year, he was in my 7th grade English class. He is a model student, well behaved and attentive. He was one of my most frequent library visitors, and I measured an increase of 3 reading levels during last school year. He was promoted to grade 8 without hesitation.



Unfortunately, the government of Namibia only pays for primary education. His family cannot afford to send him to secondary school, so I’m asking for your help. For approximately 60 USD, Frans can attend a local secondary school for the year, stay in the hostel (with all meals provided) and purchase a school uniform. Anyone interested can contact me at: steph.sestito@gmail.com. Thanks in advance!
