More than 60 young people and adults have completed a full year of computer education at the Yours Humanly Haiti Computer School, which was funded and built by Yours Humanly in 2021 to bring access to computer science instruction and technology to hundreds of underprivileged children and adults in the town of Hinche. The computer school serves children ages 10 and above who attend the Haiti Computer School after their normal school day to study computer science. Additionally, the Yours Humanly Haiti Computer School offers evening instruction for older youth and adults in the community who take classes to build their skill sets for employment opportunities elsewhere. Congratulations to these eager learners for completing a full year of computer education at the Yours Humanly Haiti Computer School!

A special thanks and shout out to all our generous sponsors for supporting our mission, to Juliette Goodrich, KPIX 5, who did a fabulous job as our emcee, and to guest speaker Cherise Khaund, MDUSD School Board, for sharing her kind thoughts about our partnership with the District on behalf of students in need. Thank you, all, for being a part of something very special!

We are pleased to announce that two Yours Humanly scholars in Cambodia have recently passed through our K-12 Scholarship Program and graduated high school, earning their diplomas and joining fellow students in their caps and gowns.

 

Both grads plan to attend college: One plans to study marketing; the other plans to study international communication. Yours Humanly will continue to support these scholars in some capacity as they continue their educational journey and earn their bachelor’s degree.

 

Under our sponsorship, the girls were enrolled in the highly regarded Beltei International School in Phnom Penh. They have now graduated from one of the finest schools in Cambodia, with a level of education that opens many doors for them, allowing them to dream big. And, because Yours Humanly also funded their ESL education, both girls speak English, something they are able to do only because of Yours Humanly’s sponsorship.

 

With your generous support, Yours Humanly transforms lives through the power of education. When we say that together we help children in need achieve better, brighter futures, this is what we mean. Congratulations to our two Yours Humanly graduates!
