This handsome young man is Machila. He has a birthday coming up soon on April 21st. He will turn 13 years old, and will officially be considered a teenager. He is currently in grade 6, and would like to be a teacher or a pilot when he grows up. For fun, he likes to play football with his friends. He recently wrote a letter to his potential sponsor. Here is a little bit of what he wrote:
"If you visited my village, you would like to know how I live, eat, dress, and even how I sleep. Also know about my family.
If I could change one thing in my village, I would change the state of living which is not to the required standard.
My favorite animal is the cow because I like drinking milk.
If I could have any superpower I would like to be able to build a house because our house we live in is not good.
I also want to tell you that I am in grade 6. I walk 7 km to and from school everyday. I have one brother and one sister. I am 3rd born in my family. I stay with my parents who actually help me with the few things they can afford."
Talk about a bright young man!! Machila is looking for someone who can support his schooling, so that he will have a chance to change his village and lift everyone up! If you would like to sponsor Machila, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com
What an intelligent and impressive young man. I wish that I could take him on at this time, but I can not.. I will keep him in mind for the future though..I am amazed at some of these children. I know that they dream big, they see far beyond themselves, they want to make their villages better not just for themselves but for their families and the other villagers
