Staff Stories: Irine
Irine loves spending time with the students and providing a shoulder for them to lean on. She stresses the fact that God provides a second chance and when he does, you need to use it. She says that in her own life, God helped her learn to forgive. She harbored bitterness for the situation she was in that led to the birth of her first son. However, she learned to move forward and loves her son very much. She uses her experiences as motivation to help Neema’s students learn to forgive the fathers of their babies. Teen pregnancies usually stop young women from continuing in school, so they often feel bitter about this loss. But at Neema, they learn to move on and love their children without reservation.
