Dear Meri,

Thanks to your donation, Prucille is attending intensive English classes on Saturdays and Sundays this fall! Prucille is 17 years old and in her second year of lower secondary school in Rwanda. She has two brothers and one sister.

Because the Rwandan schooling system has recently switched to English-based classes, students must improve their English skills in order to succeed academically. Prucille 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.

In her free time, Prucille likes to play soccer. Her favorite subjects in school are History and Math, and she is hoping to be a teacher when she graduates from school. Meri, thanks to your support she will be able to achieve her dreams!
