Fides Hamooya

Translation by Chim:
I asked the girl what her name was. She told me she was Fides Hamooya. She said she has received uniform, gifts, books and other things from a sponsor. Now that the sponsor can not hep her, she told me that she is in need of a new sponsor to help her continue with her education. She says without the sponsors help, her education will be affected. She told me that she would like to continue with education so that when she completes school, she will be able to help her family members.

Simon Hamooya

Translation by Chim:
The boy in the video is saying he is Simon Hamooya doing grade 7 at Simwaba basic. He is going into grade 8 this month. He says he appreciates the help that has been given to him so far because he has received things to improve his life- educational materials, uniform, and many other things. I asked him what life would be like without the sponsor's support. He told me that without the sponsor's support, he would not have the necessary education support to enable him attend school. His family can not afford the school fees and other things that he needs to get an education. He said that having this support would be important because when he is educated, he will be able to help feed his family thereby reducing poverty. He said when educated he will be able to get a job and assist his family members.

Simon really needs a sponsor that can keep up with their commitment as he will not be able to attend school otherwise. He had a sponsor, but the sponsor only paid 2 months of fees. He was able to get his primary uniform, but now he is going into grade 8. If you can help Simon Hamooya #434 by sponsoring him, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com

UPDATE: Simon is now sponsored!!!  Yay!!  Thanks!

The Hamooya Children Part 2

This is Fides Hamooya. She is, also, not too animated. The children are suffering severely because they do not get a regular meal. This is part of the problem. Here is what is said in the video of preschool age Fides:


Chim asked the small girl her name and grade .She told him that she was Fides Hamooya and attends the CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE at Simwaba center. Chim asked what help she needed with school .She said she needed education support in terms of books for school and uniforms. She usually has a headache and stomach pains.


Update- Fides' sponsorship is pending. There is a sponsor interested in sponsoring her. Her status will change to sponsored once payment has been received.

The Hamooya Children Part 1

The Hamooya children didn't fare very well when everyone was looking at the videos of the children in need of sponsors. The 3 Hamooya children did not get a sponsor from their videos. Therefore, I am posting them again, so that you all can see how special they are. This is Simon. He wasn't too talkative in the video and he seems aloof. There is a reason for this. Simon was suffering from stomach pains and a headache (probably from hunger). He could really use a sponsor. Here is the run down of what he is saying in the video:


Chim asked him what his name was and the grade he was in. He told Chim that he was Simon Hamooya doing grade 7 at Simwaba basic school. Asked what education sponsorship he needed. He told me that he needs help paying for his school fees, shoes, uniforms and socks. He says he is having stomach pains and headache.

Simon Hamooya's profile can be found under the primary boys. His sponsorship is pending- there is a potential sponsor- he will be marked as sponsored once payment is received.

She lives with only her mother because she lost her father. Chim asked what health difficulties she had. She told him that she had stomach pains and diarrhea. Chim asked her what help she needed in school and she told him that she was hoping for a uniform, books, socks and shoes.
