Further News.

November last year, it was looking like a 4^th Year High School student would have to drop out of school as she was pregnant and felt that she could not complete her studies because of this. After a number of meetings with advisors, teachers and the girl herself, the teachers were convinced by the nuns of San Carlos Foundation Inc to allow the girl to complete her studies and to graduate. She did well in her studies and graduated in March this year. The girl is now preparing for the birth of her child, which is expected some point during May. The nuns were very happy that the girl could complete her studies and are thankful to the teachers for listening to their pleas to allow the girl to continue her studies.
