Have you ever found yourself saying “Never give up, never give up!”? You, like many others, are thinking positively. You have determination. Being positive and determined are some of [url=http://givology.com/%7Eabemmanuel/]Atta Boateng Emmanuel[/url]’s qualities. Atta is one of many students Givology supports in Africa. Atta lives in Akrofonso, a poor farming area in the Asante Region, Ghana. At age five, he lost his mother. Along with his brothers and sisters, he has been raised by his grandmother. Atta’s grandmother has cared and provided for the family, since Atta’s father is not in the picture. His grandmother’s ailing health has brought financial distress to Atta’s household, and Atta has faced many difficulties to stay in school. His future is continually jeopardized by his household’s economic insecurity.
Nevertheless, Atta is determined to stay in school. He tells himself to “Never give up, never give up!” Throughout Junior High, he has earned scholarships from the [url=http://givology.com/%7Eyproject/]Yonso Project[/url]. Atta is very grateful for the help he received, but he needs more sponsors and donations. He is hopeful to count with the support of a generous heart to pay for tuition, supplies, transportation and lunch. Due to his merits, Atta has recently been accepted to Westphalian Senior High School. His school is about 10 minutes’ drive away from home, so he needs your support to be able to go to school every day.
Atta’s big dream is to become a teacher. He wants to share the knowledge he has obtained through school. He believes that education is the door to many opportunities. He won’t give up. [url=http://givology.com/%7Eyproject/]Givology in partnership with the Yonso Project[/url] can help [url=http://givology.com/%7Eabemmanuel/]Atta continue his education and fulfill his dream[/url], which is only $365 away! Never give up Atta, never give up!
