Sometimes, these letters from the children stand out. This is Clever #456. Clever wrote in his recent letter that he is having a hard time at home. His father died in 2009, and his mother has been struggling to provide for him, his 1 brother and 4 sisters all on her own. While children all over Zambia celebrated passing their 7th grade exams, Clever had nothing to celebrate. Clever passed his 7th grade exam, and therefore, he advanced to the 8th grade. Unfortunately, he is not able to continue his studies. The increase in school fees from the primary level to the secondary level is too much for his mother to provide.
This, also, means that his 5 sisters and brothers will be in the same situation when they get out of primary. Without assistance, these children will remain in poverty. There is no where for them to go without an education, and a primary education is not sufficient for any well-paying job.
If you would like to sponsor Clever or help get his 5 brothers and sisters enrolled and sponsored, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com
Update: Clever is now sponsored! Thank you, Annie! If anyone would like to help with any of the siblings, let me know and we can get them added.
