| SUCCESS STORY "There was a young lady withing the 14-18 year old group mentoring program who was scheduled to exit from the program after 12 months. Although she participated in the group mentoring she was in need of one-on-one mentoring due to childhood trauma that she had suffered from. Mrs. Konadu agreed to continue mentoring her even though her family was not financially able to compensate her for the services. Though it took lots of patience and perseverance, the young lady became the first person in her entire family to graduate from high school and go to college. Although her family never encouraged her and repeatedly told her she would not graduate from high school, she beat the odds." |
