Christine finds her work extremely rewarding. She gets to see the big gains Aboriginal students make thanks to sponsorship and her support. Recently, she was visiting a local hospital. There, she met a young Indigenous woman who was once sponsored by someone like you. Today, she’s about to qualify as a doctor. “It was amazing to see her there, doing her placement back in her old town,” Christine says. “I get really emotional about it because I’m so proud of them.”
Working directly with families means Christine sees first hand the impact of your sponsorship - students getting to work hard, succeed and flourish. “The best thing is seeing an Aboriginal student who has been sponsored getting to graduate from high school. Whatever that student does in life, they'll pass on the benefits and opportunities they received to their kids."
Your generous sponsorship ensures dedicated Smith Family staff like Christine can empower students to fully engage in their education, paving the way for a brighter future. Through this vital support, you are helping these students learn today and change their tomorrow.
