Solange is now studying her pronouns

Solange is 15 years old and in her first year of lower secondary school in rural Rwanda. She has three brothers and three sisters. In her free time, Solange likes to play with her friends. Thanks to your donation, Solange is attending intensive English classes on Saturdays and Sundays this fall! Currently in her English classes, she is studying direct and indirect pronouns.

Because the Rwandan schooling system has recently switched to English-based classes, students must improve their English skills in order to succeed academically. Solange is from the Gashora sector – an impoverished area of Rwanda which was hit hard by the genocide. Few students from Gashora have the opportunity to move on to upper secondary school. English skills are critical in order to succeed on the national exam, which determines entrance into upper secondary school.

One day Solange wants to become the Minister of Education in Rwanda. Thanks to your support, she will have the English skills that she needs to succeed in school, in life, and to achieve her ambitions!
