Fortunately, through
iTrack mentoring program, Yasin was able to figure this out. He was paired with an online mentor whom he talked to weekly for 18 weeks. Yasin’s mentor helped him explore the careers that could make the most of his maths and science passion and select the right subjects. “My mentor helped me find my path to achieve my goals. After school, I’d like to go to uni and hopefully I’ll become a mechanical engineer,” Yasin says.
That’s why your generous support has been so helpful. With the opportunity to access targeted out-of-school learning, like the
iTrack mentoring program, Yasin feels reassured he can get the best chance to achieve what he’s capable of. “The support has definitely made me feel more confident with everything I do in school,” he says. “I don’t feel I am left out or behind the other kids – I felt like we are on the same playing field."
Charlotte feels relieved and hopeful as, despite the challenges poverty has put in his way, Yasin can get opportunities to succeed. Your donations are removing those barriers. “I’m very appreciative, as Smith Family supporters have given Yasin a lot of support. I know he’ll have a very bright future,” says Charlotte. “To his supporters, I say thank you so much!”
