Is there any possibility of learning more specifically
about the group the woman I have sponsored belongs to? It’s Group 769. I’d love a progress report on these women and even a group picture. Thank you.

I echo the above comment – my sister is in group 809 and I would love to know what she is learning and how her life is hopefully improving. All I know is that my support allows her children to go to school. Can you tell me any more?
