Our first step in screening children to be admitted to HoPE Learning Centers is to visit their homes to view their living conditions. During one visit in May 2012, we met this 12-year-old angel. Even though there was a sad look in her eyes, she was bold and said, “My name is Powrnica. My parents toil in the fields and make very little money. I want to help them by becoming a doctor. I would love to construct a small hospital for my people who live in this village and provide treatment free of cost. I will work hard to learn and will get into medical school.” Her words still echo in our ears and have made us even more aware of the importance of our Mission. Since she fulfilled all criteria, we have chosen to help her actualize her dream at a HoPE Learning Center.
