From Dropouts to Straight-A Students!
Friday, April 1, 2011 at 12:14PM
Check out the report card of six of our Blossom Bus girls, who not only passed the 8th grade, but did so with flying colors! These girls are among 46 Blossom Bus riders who just advanced to the next grade level.
Initially forced to dropout due to lack of transportation to the nearest secondary schools, these girls have made themselves, their teachers and their parents proud. Without this seemingly small intervention, their path would look much different. Many of them already had marriages arranged (some as young as 12) while others would be working in agriculture for wages far below the sustenance level.
Please join us in congratulating them for their achievements! And please consider supporting the Blossom Bus -- a $150 donation will keep one of these girls in school for an entire year!
