These two Need Some Help... Can you be the one to reach out?

I have recieved this heartbreaking news from Margaret in Ulamba Kenya. Please take time to read about these children's difficulties. Any little bit will help them...


1.      John Odongo Aduda – a youthful 18 year old whobecause of hardship is just making it to 9th grade.  This is a normal age for most of our childrento join high school.  John came 2ndtop of his class with 371 marks out of 500. He has been invited to join a Boarding high school.  The fees is Kenya shillings 50,000 + 8,000 for personal requirements. He is secondlast in a family of 8.  None of hissiblings had gone to high school because of lack of money.  He was not going to join high school, butsomebody sent him and his mother to us, FORWAC. I feel that we should help him realize his dream of becoming adoctor.  John’s father died when he wasfour years old.  He lives with his motherwho is HIV+ and his other siblings.
2.      Lydia Awuor Walome – a girl of 14 years who is a total orphan.  Both her parents died successively when shewas two years old.  She has been livingwith one or the other of her poor relatives. She was top of her class with 312marks out of 500. She has been invited to join a Girls’ Boarding school she want to be a lawyer.  The fees here for the year is 35,000+8,000for personal requirements  Total for theyear for both students in boarding schools will be Ksh 100,000.
If we start to sponsor these students in the 9thgrade, we need to be sure that they will be able to continue until 12thgrade.  Otherwise they drop out.
Fees is a bit high this year because they has been feesincrease in nearly all the schools in Kenya. At the beginning of high school –9th grade, fees is normally very high because it included manyrequirements for boarding e.g. bedding articles that includes mattresses,blankets, sheets and also some books and uniform.  You will see some of these invitation letterswhen you come in May.
Alternative to boarding school is a day mixed high school –the total one year’s fees for the two will be Ks 46,000.  We shall accept whatever amount you will giveto us.  If we have our way I would have preferred a boarding school for each of them.

PLEASE consider donating to these deserving children.
All of your money will go directly to them.
