A mother in Medellín, Colombia says thank you:
I am Gloria Vargas Restrepo and I am the head of my house. Five years ago I enrolled my daughter in the Covenant School (Centro Educativo Integral el Pacto).
This has been a difficult time in my life economically, I work as a seamstress, but only on a temporary basis and there are moments that are very difficult. For example, this year I made the decision to take my daughter out of school and put her in a neighborhood school because I lost my job. It was just at this moment that the school, via the director, offered me the help I needed – a 100% scholarship. The truth is that the context in which we live is one filled with violence, so to have a school like this is truly a blessing. Thanks to the donation of people with a big heart, the school had received resources to be able to bless other people like me with what we’ve always dreamed about – an excellent education for my daughter.
In the time that my daughter has been enrolled in the Covenant school I have seen the great relationship that exists between students and teachers. The teacher treat the children with so much respect and dignity; they listen to them and correct them with firmness and care.
Thank you for opening your heart to contribute so that it can continue to serve our children and help others who are in situations like me.
