Derick’s Story
A Doctor in the Making
Shube’s Story
Meet Shube, a student at AsOne who loves one thing in particular: speaking in front of people.
"What I do most here at school is debating," she shares. "It's because I like talking to people, and it helps me develop my confidence."
Through opportunities like debate, classroom participation, and leadership activities, students like Shube are gaining skills that extend far beyond academics. They're learning to communicate, think critically, and believe in their God-given potential.
Education is only one part of the story. Spiritual growth is woven into daily life as well.
"We always have time for praying to God," Shube explains. "Even if someone has annoyed you, you go and speak to God. The anger vanishes."
As she looks toward the future, Shube has big dreams. "In the future, I want to become a celebrity and a doctor."
While the combination may seem unique, her heart behind both goals is clear.
"I want to become a celebrity and doctor to help other people, so that I can provide free medication to them."
Because of your partnership, students like Shube are receiving more than an education. They are growing in confidence, character, faith, and purpose—equipped to become the leaders and changemakers their communities need.
Thank you for making stories like Shube's possible.
