"During summer vacation I could attend three months computer course. This course is very useful for me. My project give all types of opportunities to attain my goal."
Agustin lost his financial sponsor and we were unable to pick up his sponsorship. My prayer is that Augstin is sponsored quickly by someone who will see him through to the end of the program.
