Final Exams! Final exam time is fast approaching for Primary 7

Students at Acres of Hope. This exam literally

determines if and where a student will move

onto Secondary School. This can best be

compared to going to college in the US. These

students are highly motivated to perform well

and would welcome your prayers and support for

them! Educating these children is changing their

community. Let’s cover them in prayers to do

their very best!
