Aren't these little ones just precious!!?? We now have approximately 200 preschool children available for sponsorship. Now, here is why this program is so important and why you should consider sponsoring one of these little ones:

In Zambia, children do not begin school until the age of 7! For those of you with children of your own, you have probably seen just how much a child can learn BEFORE the age of 7. Children are like sponges and soak up everything they can even repeating what they have learned. It is extremely important to teach language at this time. Learning a new language before the age of 7 means that the child will grow up speaking the language normally with little or no foreign accent.

While other children in Zambia are hanging out all day waiting to turn 7, the children in Mazabuka are able to attend school!! At the CHILDHOPE supported preschool centers, they learn English, beginning math, beginning reading, educational play, and much more!

The sponsorship program provides the individual child with shoes, medicines, school supplies, and school books. The program provides the classroom with learning materials such as educational toys, wall charts, and books!

I have posted some of these children already on the preschool child pages, but I have another 125 children I will be posting this week. Let's help these children move to the head of their class and become the future leaders of Zambia!!
