The Hambulo Family

The Hambulo children above are very tall.  Mutinta (the oldest girl) says this physical trait helps her with her netball skills.  Below the children work alongside their father in the family's garden.

This is the Hambulo family.  There are several videos and photos of them, so if you like to have videos and photos of your sponsored children, these children would be a great choice!  I sponsor the oldest child, and she is such a wonderful writer that I decided to post about her sister and 2 brothers that are still waiting for sponsors. 

The family is very poor.  Before sponsorship, the children had to go to tourist sights and beg for money in order to come up with the funds to stay in school.  They are all very bright and education is a priority.  I would really like to see the other three children (plus the oldest boy- Fredreck who is not enrolled) go all the way to university.  They have the drive, so they just need the chance.
