Testimonials from sponsored students
From a recent medical school graduate in Haiti:
"I am happy to share with you how the St. John Bosco Children’s Fund supported me during my medical studies.
After my father's death, life became increasingly complicated. I was in my first year of medical school when my father passed away. I considered dropping out because I could no longer afford the cost of tuition. It was at that time that reached out to the St John Bosco Children’s Fund for help. The organization was wonderful and helped to continue my medical studies.
Today, I am a registered physician in Haiti. I would like to thank the St. John Bosco Children’s Fund for helping me to continue my studies despite the difficult situation in Haiti and with my family.
I give all the glory to God and will always be grateful to the Children’s Fund for helping me fulfill my calling."

Our ambition is to continue the nursing program so that we can make a significant contribution in the health field, meet our needs and to help our single mother who has suffered so much.
Thanks to your generosity, we can look forward to our academic career with greater serenity and pride, and focus fully on our academic goals. This gesture testifies to your commitment to supporting education and giving students a chance to build a better future.
Rest assured that we will do everything in our power to earn this support by working with rigor and determination."
