Reham in particular has grown immensely since her time with Hope House. When she first began, her testing scores were around 55% in Math. Now, she typically scores around 95% on her Math exams and average to above average in Arabic and English. Although she loves her crafting at home, Reham knows the importance of getting a good education. She said, “I go to school continually. I will not be like the other girls who left school.”

She continued saying, “I don’t care about the (public) school. I focus on the center classes. I don’t get a good education in the school but rather in the center classes, in which I have learned how to write and read. I love mathematics.”

Reham’s mother commented on the challenges of coronavirus, which is still heavily impacting Egypt’s education systems, saying, “now there is no time for teaching the kids so many lessons. Kids were going to school five days a week, and now it’s two days of schooling [at the public school]. How many classes do the kids learn? I want my daughter to continue to achieve a good life.”

Regarding exams, Reham’s mother said, “Reham told me that the exams were easy. She is smart and I trust her. it was just one educational year and it passed, thanks God. Hopefully the upcoming year will be better for children.”

Reham is currently available for sponsorship with Hope House. Would you prayerfully consider sponsoring her to help her finish out her education strong and with the additional support that the sponsorship program provides?
