FACE Testimonial F.A.C.E : Success StoriesChristians call it Testimony, Lawyers call it Witnesses and some Politicians will refer to it as “joe the plumber story”. I simply call it Success stories. After eleven years of sponsoring school children in Ghana we are starting to get a number of these stories that I will like to pass on to you the sponsor. ... thank the F.A.C.E Sponsors!In at least four of the villages we went to, we met young teenagers, their ages about 14 to 16 years old, who told us; "we are here to thank FACE and those sponsors abroad for the assistance they gave us to complete primary school." After 8 years of being sponsored by FACE, they have finished primary school, 3 years of Junior secondary and are about to start 2 years of Senior secondary after which they will be eligible to go to University. ... Chosen NOT on the basis of academic standingIn Ghana, they still have the old British system of report cards and ranking of students. In every village, the children bring their report cards to show us. We found out that about half the sponsored children in each village were in the top 50% of their class. The amazing part of this is that we picked these kids initially, NOT on the basis of academic standing but based on their urgent need, eight or ten years later, they are excelling in their class. Thanks to your hands up. ... Teach a man to fishA final one, in Bodoma village, we met Eric Wiredu, a young man, who was sponsored by FACE for ten years. He has now finished senior secondary school and just got employed in the same school working as a teacher’s assistant. A great example of a man fishing for himself after being given the opportunity to learn to fish! Our gratitude to you for all you have done!
