Sponsors Change Lives

By Nicole Schouela

There is no better feeling than watching our former students change into young adults, with advanced certificates in hand and finding gainful employment. Our first two graduates from St. Joseph Vocational, Christopher and Sophia, are both working successfully in carpentry and tailoring respectively.

Each year we sponsor 10 graduates from Stand Tall to continue their studies in either vocational or secondary school. We now have 55 graduates studying in various schools including a small number of post-secondary graduates studying at a teacher’s college, as well as in accounting and early childhood education.

Your sponsorship makes a huge difference in the lives of these young people. Interested in sponsorship? Lorisa Schouela, lschouela@gmail.com will be happy to provide you with all the details.
