Marvis lives with his single mom and six siblings. His mother does her best to provide for her children but she doesn’t have a fulltime job. She does some cleaning on the weekends to earn some money for their family. It’s a day-to-day struggle to cover their basic needs, especially school fees for so many children.

Marvis is concerned about the difficult situation his mother is in. If he is sponsored, he knows his mom won’t have to worry about how she will pay his school fees. “This is always a burden to her and I really don’t like to see her worrying. This assistance will help my mom because she needs help in sending her younger children to school.”

Marvis has a plan for his future if he is able to finish his education: “I want to become a Civil Engineer. In order for me to accomplish this dream, I’ll continue to study hard, graduate from primary school with honors so that I can get a scholarship to attend St. John’s College. I will also graduate from St. John’s College with honors.”
