Elijah Ng`andu family

I asked the man in the video what his name was. He told me that he was Elijah Ngandu and the child in the video is the daughter. He told me that the girl was doing grade 7 at Simwaba basic school. Asked how the child could be helped. He told me that the child needs school books, shoes, blankets, school bag, food etc. Asked what health complications the child has. Mr.Ng`andu said that the child has Asthma and he can not afford to send her to the doctor.

Meet Clive Maimbo & see Child Sponsorship Registration

Check out this primary school age handsome young man! He is in need of a sponsor asap. Here is the detail of his video:
This is one of the videos taken in the community during child sponsorship registration in April 2010. You can see for yourself how well the program has been received in Mazabuka. Behind Clive, you can see the bustle and excitement as the people of Mazabuka line up to become a part of changing their community! They came from near and far to get their children enrolled in the child sponsorship program. This program will allow students to stay in school and get other children who would not normally be able to go to school at all due to lack of funds enrolled in school. It, also, provides them with medical benefits as medications are available to them free of charge through the program. We hope that this will lead to higher survival rates and higher education completion.

In the video, that is Chim talking to one of the children during registration. The boy is Clive Maimbo #303. He is saying he is in Grade 3 at Naleza basic and needs a sponsor to help him purchase a uniform, books, school bag and a bicycle.

I asked the lady the relationship she had with the children in the video. She told me that the children in the video were hers. Asked the name of the child crying. She said the name of the girl cry was Sara Mweemba attending ECCDE supported by CHILDHOPE at Simwaba.
She said the short boy in red T-shirt in front is Ben Mwiinga attending CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE center at Simwaba. Asked the name of the tall child in red T-shirt behind. She told me that the child`s name was Able Mwiinga doing grade 3 at Simwaba basic school. She told me that the child wearing a black sweat shirt with white long sleeves was Jola Mwiinga doing grade one at Simwaba basic school. Asked what support the children required in school. The lady told me that she would appreciate if someone sponsored her children`s education through the purchase of books, uniforms, pencils etc. Asked how the health of her children was, she told me that the elder child`s stomach gets swollen most of the time.

Demonstration of Preschool Items revisited

I wanted to share this video with you all again because this lady on the video is the one whose husband just passed away. She is, also, teminally ill. She is standing with her youngest child Tebby who I have sponsored since May 2010. She is displaying the preschool items that were given to Tebby. Tebby received a backpack, school books, school supplies, and shoes. She is happy and appreciative to the sponsors and CHILDHOPE. As you can see, she is very excited to show off the thing that Tebby received in detail. She has 1 more son and 1 daughter that are in need of sponsors- Mike and Kasamba. If you can sponsor Mike or Kasamba, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com She will be very happy for any help received!!

The child wearing a green dress is Mainza Mwiinga while the one with a black blouse is Annita Mwiinga. The two children were attending CHILDHOPE ECCDE supported center in Dindi .She is appealing for support of the children because she can not afford to purchase the items they need for school- books, shoes, uniforms, and clothes.
