Case Study
Xuan's Story
Pay it forward. This is Xuan, the first ever recipent of a GIFTS schoalrship. We met her in 2009 when her father had died and her mother had health problems and required open heart surgery. Despite being a proflic prodigy of a writer with aspirations to become a teacher, she quit school to be the sole provider for her extended family. We put our faith in her, supported her, and invested in her education.
Now she is a powerful intelligent and every poetic grown woman with a child of her own. “I want to give him every experience I never had. He can be Superman for all I know.”
“I don’t recall the first time we met except that it was by cosmic forces, it was fate. I am still dumbfoudned and forever grateful. I intend on pushing that forward”. She is now a social worker, counselling and finding oportunities for young students on their path forward.
