Meet Bubala 109

I would like you to meet a sweet 9th grader named Bubala.  She is one of our young ladies that has been passed from one relative to the next, and does not have any support from whichever relative she lives with at the time.  Last year, in April, she was living with her uncle... Then, she went to live with her grandfather... Now, according to her latest letter, she has been abandoned again and now lives with a relative that does not work. 

She can not stay in school this year, unless she can get a sponsor.  She wants to be a lawyer, but she now doesn't think she will even get her grade 9 certificate.  Here is what her latest letter said:

"How are you by this lovely time? If you are fine and me also am fine.

First of all I want to tell you a small note, I have a serious problem of which I need your advice. I am unable to raise enough money to buy a uniform or pay for my school fees. This is because my grandfather has left employment and has gone to settle in northern province.

I am being looked after by a relative who does not work. I am wondering whether I should just stop school altogether. You have probably noticed that the standard of my work has deteriorated and that I have been absent from school several times recently.

I would be most grateful for your advice on this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Hakasenke, Bubala (109)"

As you can see, Bubala is not faring well with her latest family situation.  If you would like to help Bubala and become her sponsor, please send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com

Update: Bubala now has a sponsor!!  Thank you!!

Baby Class~ Nachiyoba Hakasenke #1056

Little Nachiyoba is one of our youngest children in sponsorship.  It is awesome to think that she is so young and will always remember having a sponsorship program in her community.  This will be one of the best children to watch to see what sponsorship does for her, and see her lift herself and her family out of poverty. 

If you would like to see Nachiyoba in a video, check out her appearance in this video with her cousins:

http://childhopezambia.blogspot.com/2010/06/children-in-need-of-sponsors.html  She had only just started to walk when the video was taken in June 2010.  She is using all of her cousins as props to keep her from falling.  =)

If you would like to sponsor Nachiyoba, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com or put your name down as her sponsor in the "special children" database. 

Regina Ngandu family

Translation by Chim:
Asked the lady in the video who she was. She told me that she was Regina Ngandu. I asked her the relationship she had with the child in the video. She told me that the child in the video was her grand child. Asked if the child was in school. The lady told me that the child was at Simwaba CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE center. She is appealing for someone to help her support the education of the child in terms of uniforms, books, shoes etc. The lady says she is suffering from leg and chest pains. She also needs someone to help feed the children.

Hakasenke Family Part 1

Chim asked the children their names but they were too shy to talk to him. Chim then requested that the mother to some the children introduce them. She pointed out each child and stated their name as noted in the sponsorship pages about each child. Chim then spoke to the grandmother who normally spends most of her time with the children home. He asked her how easy it was to look after the children. She told him that it was very difficult to look after the children. She told him that she was suffering and has nothing .She is appealing for help for her grand children from anyone who could help .She is appealing for someone who can help pay for their education, books, uniforms and shoes.
To sponsor one of these children, I will be posting the photos, names and child IDs of the children available in the next post. Stay tuned!
