She created a lesson center with the help of her parents and well-wishers. Her initial idea was to teach the kids during the holidays, but after seeing how much of an influence she had on the kids’ lives, she decided to create Isrina Schools.
It was also to ensure that her community’s youngsters received the same educational help she enjoyed. Grace and her sister continue to help the children in their care despite their financial and infrastructure issues.
