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.
