Kephence is improving so much in his school work!

Kephence is improving so much in his school
Dear Laurent, UBS, Janice, Ellen, Carol, BARBARA, Drew, and mariajose,

A Teamworks employee writes,

“When I first met Kephence I could tell he loved to play sports because during free time he would play basketball in the gym. Little did I know he has more passion in his school work than he does in his athletics. After our activities to get the kids more involved with teamwork, he would waste little time in asking the staff to help him with his homework. Sometimes, he wants to do his homework so bad, he won’t even want to do the fun activities! It’s pretty rare to see kids enjoy doing their homework, but we find that in him.

Kephence always has a smile on his face and is full of energy. It seems like he gets a long with all the kids. The elementary kids are graded on a number scale with 5 being the highest, and Kephence currently has a 4. Kephence is a fast learner when it comes to his school work. The thing I see with him is he takes a lot of pride when he learns how to solve his math problems.

Because of your generous donations, Kephence is improving so much in his school work continuously and is starting to realize just how intelligent he is.”

Thank you so much to all of you for providing a whole year of academic support for Kephence! A special thank you to Laurent, and UBS for donating multiple months of tutoring. Thanks again!
