Ella's Testimony

Ella was one of the first Batang Right Start. She has been there since Right Start started reaching out to their barangay through a reading program when she was 9 years old. She consistently attends the activity and a love for learning was planted in her. When Right Start built a center in another barangay, she wasn’t able to come regularly but she’s still involved in the activity as a Right Start scholar under the Educational Assistance Program. She’d attend training, personality and spiritual development sessions and other events in Right Start whenever she’s available. Aside from receiving support from Right Start, she studied in Far Eastern University with a scholarship as well. She graduated with a Bachelor of Elementary Education and is now a Licensed Professional Teacher, teaching in a progressive type private school.
