Back in May 2021 we shared the news that Smith Samah, Hope International graduate, had been accepted into graduate school in India and that through the generosity of a Hope Project family, his tuition was covered.
He was ready. We were ready. And then, as many others experienced, COVID-19 and the Delta variant, plans were paused.
Smith waited and worked in Liberia, substituting as a teacher at Hope International. Then in October 2021, his visa was granted.
His entire community, led by Principal Joseph Cummings, provided the funds for his airline ticket. They surrounded Smith in support and love as he departed on his journey to India this past week.
While onboard his flight, Smith wrote a letter of gratitude to all those that have partnered with him along the way. To read Smith’s full letter click here.
We can think of no better example of how the coming together, each doing a part, makes the seemingly impossible, possible.
We look forward to sharing more about Smith’s journey with you during this holiday season. The various pieces coming together in just the right time.
