Monica is a youth who is regularly part of our programs. She attends our tutoring program (EPIC) and our kids program (KIC), along with her younger sister, who she loves taking care of. She’s also a “big sister” to many of the kids in the program, as they look up to her and her faith in God. She loves taking part in the art/paint nights where they have done projects like painting landscapes/animals, making acrostic poems, and other creative works!
Some of her favourite memories at program and camp include doing tie dye, eating freezies, and having water balloon fights. She can also be seen running around and has lots of energy. However, when she is asked why she continues to come back to programs, she says that she really enjoys talking about the Gospel. She has seen that having a relationship with Jesus has changed her for the better, and knows that God gives her a sense of peace in her life. She says, “I’m happy that he’s affected my life and programs!”
