This program benefitted over 100 students from the GSF and a local orphanage.

Creative Expression Course
Some students studied creative expression, exploring how to write and perform the stories of their lives.

One girl wrote this story.

My story.

I was born December 19, 1989 in Goma.

I had a father, mother, brothers and sisters but today I live only with my mother, brothers and sisters. When I had my father, the morning would come and I would leave for school. When I would return, my mother would make our food and I had the right to basic things.

But today I am an orphan. Yes, truly think of me! I do not have the money to pay for my studies. I am missing my food and clothes.

But now I have been given a scholarship. I study without paying and am given as well the chance to study English and a uniform without paying.

Also, I thank you all of the members of the Goma Student Fund.

Without a doubt, I now plan, for my vocation, to work to help orphans without the means for living and to help them succeed in school and in their lives.

This is what I say to my friends who do not remember the rights of orphans. These orphans, they have the same rights as all other children.
