We extend a sincere thank you to the LuminFire team for their integral role in launching our amazing new website! Our goal was to create a mobile-friendly, photo-rich site that helps us tell our stories and is easy to maintain. Nick, Michael, and Marty helped us find just the right platform and design–we couldn’t be more excited about it. You guys truly do create brilliant solutions. Thank you for all your efforts and for being so generous with your time. There’s more to come too–one feature under development that we plan to launch this fall is a login for sponsors that provides access to pictures, assessments, and news about their students. Check out our new website today and stay tuned for more! (and if you ever need help with your own technology, check out LuminFire!)

Robert
Robert started with our program in 2009. Robert had a difficult childhood -he was almost thrown out of the program because of behavior issues.
After support and counseling from our staff, he was able to pull through, and ultimately excel, in high school. Robert just graduated after his final high school exams. His sponsor’s support motivated him to turn things around for himself.
He is now interested in veterinary studies. He plans to continue with his post-secondary education with the continued support of his sponsor. A big shout out to Robert and to his sponsor, Janis, for the support and hope she offered him to overcome so much and continue transforming his life.
