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!
