” The Foundation allowed me to continue my studies and helped me by providing not only financial aid, but also by offering real support. Every month, I had feedback with my counsellor, who encouraged me… it felt good to share with someone! Today, I am proud to have completed my special education technique and I hope to help others. Many thanks from me and my six children. “
