The clock is ticking. 20 days remain. In 20 days, something the community never expected will occur. In 20 days something WE at AFE had hoped in faith was inevitable will be...On December 10th nine excited young men and women will throw their caps in the air, and they will graduate high school.
Graduating high school may seem a small thing to us in the United States. It is almost expected of us and our c
hildren. Not so here. Not in a community with a third-grade education on average. Not in place of hopelessness like the garbage dump.
It will happen in the ballroom of a beautifully constructed science museum dow
ntown. The affair will be formal. Their parents will receive a hand-made invitation, delivered to their door any week now.
The young men and women, with the world at the feet, and the light of aspiration in their eyes, will walk in front of their friends and family with pride and receive their diploma.

It will be an event unlike any other. In the spiritual realm, it will be a huge victory. Because children and parents who have given up, have thought: “Why should I continue in school? What´s the point?” They will know that it is possible to
go to college and better your life, because of the courageous stance of these young champions.
