A Student’s Extension of Service
Jacolby Johnson, Cobb Sixth Grade Campus student, embarked on a life-changing journey this summer that extended his heart and hands to an international community. Jacolby joined a medical outreach mission to Guyana to make a tangible difference in the lives of people far beyond his hometown. As a member of the Specialist Medical Outreach Team with Youth on a Mission Church of God, Ja’Colby helped to provide medical assistance to over 200 residents of Guyana. The team checked blood pressure, completed dental extractions, and distributed eyeglasses. Jacolby witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by communities with limited access to healthcare and the impact that even small acts of kindness can have. Jacolby returned home with a renewed sense of purpose and a broader perspective on the world. His journey to Guyana provided immediate aid to those in need and planted the seeds for a lifelong commitment to service. Jacolby’s story is a testament to the power of empathy and action, proving that no matter how young, anyone can make a significant difference in the world.
