These five scholars are moving up another grade. Qualified Hope for the Island scholars are required to be an active part of Hope programs. They are also taught how to give back by serving whether it is raking leaves, planting or pulling weeds at Hope for the Island property.
The scholars gather at Hope on a Saturday for a few hours to serve. This an opportunity for our Hope team to connect with them.
These girls have been active at Hope For The Island since they were very little. A few of them also volunteer in our Kids Ministry on Saturdays after or before their community work. We are so proud of these girls and we are honoured to partner with them in their education process.
Congratrulations Jiezel-ann (Diwa) a graduate of Grade 12 and one of our Scholars. She graduated from grade 10 a few years ago and decided to go back and finish grade 11 and 12 to get more skills and open up more opportunities for her future. We are so proud!
Diwa and her sister used to show up at Hope in the early years. They needed food and soon became part of our Hope family.
We are so proud of these girls as they rose out of their circumstances and made education their priority. These 4 girls graduated from Grade 10! It’s a privilege to be involved in their lives since they were in Elementary. Currently, they are an active part of our weekly Youth and Scholarship programs. Now that they have graduated, they will take grade 11 and 12. In the final grades of high School in Siargao Island, students have an opportunity to gain skills they can help them in the work force one day. I am so happy that because they are also so active at hope for the Island, wonders hip scholars like these are also being trained in the word of God and also through discipleship. Thanks for your prayers for the scholars, they are now on summer holidays till June.
The two girls above are proud to displays their “Graduated with HONOURS Certificate”
