For most of our readers, the season of graduation events is still a few months away. But in Zimbabwe and Zambia, the school year ends in December and students learn the results of their final exams in January. So this is the time of year when we receive reports celebrating students supported by Forgotten Voices partnerships who have passed their final exams and graduated from high school.

Happy Graduation, Thembani!

It is all smiles for Thembani who sat for his ‘A’ level examination last year. With his passing grades, he can pursue a university degree. He desires to do sociology or development studies.

High school graduation is a significant milestone on the journey toward a brighter future for orphaned and vulnerable children in southern Africa.

This great accomplishment would not have been possible without a combined effort, including

a) Thembani’s hardwork

b) Our partner church, Entumbane Presbyterian, committing to being his support system

c) Forgotten Voices financial support which helped pay for Thembani’s final year of high school when his family was unable to do so.

Imagine being so close to graduation and not having the resources for your last year of school. When you pray for the children we serve, Thembani is one of those covered by your prayers. When you donate to Forgotten Voices International, these are the tangible results of your investment.  Thank you!
