Participating in the Bridges Summer Program will help me greatly in the transition between high school and college. Reading about the program I have learned that this program is meant to help students transition to a college-level work environment and I know that I need this type of help. The good thing about this program is that they help students individually and this way students will have a better chance at really being prepared to start college in the fall.

Having smaller classes will be a bigger benefit

Passion 4 Community’s support, through both psychosocial counselling and facilitating enrolment in income generating activities, has proved successful in addressing the particular needs of the youths suffering from extreme poverty as a result of the conflict. A recent example of this can be illustrated by the assistance provided to a young girl aged 14 who was struggling to take care of her 5 siblings as a result of the loss of her parents, who both died of alcoholism following the conflict.
