Working Hard to Give Back
“I still remember vividly those days my siblings and I would go to school without food, an experience which hampered my capacity to retain knowledge. Studying without food in the stomach is better imagined than experienced. The After School Academy has really helped my siblings and I both academically and materially,” said Bright. Since he joined the After School Academy his life has tremendously improved. Previously, Bright had a challenge with mathematics, but since coming to the After School Academy, his struggles have become history.
Working Hard to Give Back
Bright loves singing, dancing and playing basketball. He wants to be an accountant in future and then share his earnings with the helpless and needy in society.
