Tresor moved away from the area into a region where Compassion doesn't work, so while we received a final letter from Tresor's project, we were unable to send him a final letter.
Final Letter:
"Dear Eric and Hannah
We greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We thank you for your support to our child Tresor. May God bless you so much. We write this letter to let you know that your child has been departed from the project programs. We request you to continue praying for him. We conclude by wishing you a nice home."
