Back to School - 2022

25 New High School Graduates…

Peace Sisters was thrilled to learn that 25 girls in our program passed the strenuous BAC-2 exam to earn their high school diplomas in 2022! We are so impressed by these young women’s hard work and determination, and we want to make sure they will be well prepared for what lies ahead.

Last month, several Professors from the University of Kara were invited to visit Dapaong to hold orientation sessions with the graduates. Sessions were held both in groups and individually to advise the girls on what to expect as they embark upon a higher education.

Taking both their academic records and personal interests into account, the young women deliberated on whether a university degree would be right for them. Some of them have determined that other forms of vocational school would be a better fit as they considered practical concerns such as the job market that awaits them after finishing school and their family obligations.

We are proud to support these young women as they make informed choices about their futures, and we can’t wait to see them continue to succeed!

The New Beginning...

Many of us have enjoyed watching our kids, grandkids, and neighbors head back to school over the last month. It's been a flurry of new clothes, new supplies, and smiling faces for the new beginning!

The same process is underway in Togo right now as the school year is set to begin on September 26th... Can you imagine that it only costs about $40 for a girl to attend middle school or high school for a year?

It would be lovely if you could take a moment to think about just how much we spend for our kids to go to school. And if you can afford it, please consider pitching in to help with this new beginning for a girl in Togo as well.

Supplies for the New School Year…

Amongst other things, Peace Sisters has supplied text books, notebooks, and maxi pads for all the girls in our program to make sure they get off to a good start!
