Our First Teen Moves the Tassel.

Andreea with mentor and friend, Juliana Timofte

We are so proud to announce that our first teen has graduated from High School this Spring. Andreea Mondoc came into our program in 2010 and we began tutoring and mentoring this young girl, encouring her to stay in school. Through sponorship we were able to move her out of her village into Brasov so that she could focus on her studies. For the past four years she has remained dedicated to her goal of completing high school and is now the first teen from the Roma community of Budila to graduate. What an amazing accomplishment! She has become a role model for other teens in her community, showing them that it is possible to have a life outside of the cycle of poverty, it is worth it to stay in school and there is hope! We are inspired and encouraged by this beautiful girl and know that God is going to do amazing things through her in her life.
