Program in transition

The orphanage in ColonĀ is under significant transition as the director, Sister Gloria, decides the next plan for where to move the girls who are 15 years old. The goal is to keep girls until they are in 9th grade (which is usually age 15) and then move them to other institutions in the community.

Our teachers, Karen and Melva, are in the process of determining where the students are going to be sent and how they can still be involved in Survival Skills. The teachers have received strong feedback from the students that they want to continue the program so they know how to live independently once they graduate.
