Young Focus became the bridge for me to get to my dreams and fulfil my goals. Young Focus is very helpful in terms of encouraging students through tutorials and different activities. By participating in these activities, I was able to build my strong personality and I’ve made friends with my co-students. 

When I was in my first year at college [before Harvey was is the Young Focus sponsorship program], my parents could not afford to buy textbooks for my eight subjects. It was clear to me that I had to do something to be able to have good grades, so I wrote down all of those lessons on bond paper and passed them. 

It was hard to encounter financial problems, that’s why I am so blessed that Young Focus has since helped me reach my goals and has guided me to a better life.

Through the tutorials and life skills I have learned additional things to what I encountered in my studies at school. Now that I’ve graduated with the help of Young Focus, I would love to continue my Master’s degree in forensic medicine and be a forensic officer. All I want to say to my sponsor is that I give you my deepest and sincerest gratitude for helping me reach my goals. I owe you this success and I promise you that I will do my best to be an epitome of success among the youth in our community. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU!
