A Second Chance at Tomorrow

For two years, Carlens Desilus watched life move forward without him. His classmates graduated while he stayed home, unable to attend school. “I really felt upset,” he said. “I remembered all the goals I had that didn’t happen.”
Today, that story looks different. Thanks to faithful partners, Carlens is back in school, finishing his final year at the School of Hope in Titanyen. 

 “Going to school makes me proud,” he shared. “I’ve learned so much that I would never have known otherwise.”
School, for Carlens, means dignity, direction, and a future. He dreams of studying electromechanics after graduation, and he believes every child deserves the same chance. “All children should go to school to get a quality education,” he said. “It is what allows them to be better in their country and the world.”

Your generosity is helping students like Carlens not only return to school but also step confidently toward the future God has in store for them. We are already seeing God move in incredible ways, with over 1,000 students being able to complete exams in areas completely controlled by gangs. God is moving!
