We
are believing and contending for
- a
new pickup truck $35,000
- our third
building to be finished $10,000
- new monthly
donors to have 100% of our budget met
We
declare the time of lack is OVER!
NEW
SPONSORS NEEDED
The
following non-resident children are still looking
for a sponsor after losing theirs. Saloum needs a half-sponsor
to support him with $30 or 20€ per month for his last year
of school, while all the others need either a full (60$/40€
per month) or two half-sponsors. Please reply and let me
know which child you'd like to sponsor. Thank you!
Saloum
Age 25
Second and last year of trade school
Saloum was one of the neighbors' kids. His violent
father used to beat him up, and constantly threatened to kill his
firstborn son. When he first kicked him out, his Muslim neighbors
forced him to take back his son. The second time, Saloum sought
refuge with us again and stayed. He is a very intelligent kid who
loves to learn.
In January of 2009 Saloum moved out of our house and back in with
his family. In August 2010 he returned to our household when we
employed him as our day guard. In November he became our driver.
He finished his 9 years of education at evening school and started
a two-year program at trade school in 2014 that he'll complete in
2016.

The parents of Saloum's little brother had never had
the means to send their sons to school. Today Guédjouma goes
to school.
