Orphans don’t only need financial support, but they need psychological support to increase their self-confidence and increase their motivation towards learning.”

She added: "I was saddened by the general weakness in their level of achievement, and I tried to help as much as I could. I learned from them, I had the opportunity to interact with them on a personal level. They are kind and loving children, and I sensed their passion for learning and the desire to improve their academic results. I am truly blessed and delighted to be part of this experience.”
