Waiting a Long Time- 7th and 8th Grade Boys

Joseph Nyeleti #11 (above) is 15 years old and one of three 7th graders in this post. His favorite subject is English, and he would like to be a policeman when he grows up. He lives with his grandfather, 2 brothers and 1 sister. *not sponsored*

Mboozi Miyoba #12 (above) is the 2nd 7th grader in this group of boys. He is 14 years old, and just as Joseph wants to be a policeman when he grows up. His favorite subject is math. He lives with his father, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. *not sponsored*

Morgan Shamilimo # 14 (above) is the 3rd 7th grader in this post. He will turn 15 on June 3rd of this year. Like the other two 7th graders, he wants to be a policeman when he grow up (I think they must have had a discussion about it while they waited in line to get enrolled in the sponsorship program). Morgan's favorite subject is Tonga. He is responsible for the hunting in the household to provide meat for his aunt and and the extended family. He lives with his aunt, her family, and 2 brother and 2 sisters. *not sponsored*

Stephen Mweemba #15 (above) is 14 years old and in 8th grade. You will never guess what he wants to be when he grow up... Yep, a policeman!! His favorite subject is math, and he lives with his father, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. *not sponsored*

Milimo Hamanenga #16 (above) is 16 and in the 8th grade. Unlike the other young men in this post, Milimo would like to be a teacher when he grows up. His favorite subject is math. He lives with his uncle, 3 brothers and 6 sisters. *not sponsored*

I was looking back at our children who have been waiting for a sponsor for a long time. I was surprised to see that most of the children waiting are boys. In this post and even the earlier one, all of the children left from ID #20 and below are all boys. These are fine young men who have struggles, too. These children that are not living with their parents have it even harder as they are usually the last in the family to get school fees paid for them, if at all. It is very important that they find a sponsor if they have any hope of completing school and breaking the cycle of poverty.
