Patrick’s Story

My name is Patrick and at 14 yrs I am in JSS3.

I lost my parents during the Ebola outbreak and I am being assisted by my Grandmother. She sells charcoal to sustain the family. I am the only boy in the photograph. Right by my Grandmother (Emma) is my younger sister Kadiatu, and closer to me is my cousin Ramatu.

My family really appreciates your kind work.

Hawa’s story

My name is Hawa Sellu. I am 12 years old. I am in JSS 1 at the St Paul’s school. I have 8 brothers and a sister. I am staying with my aunt. I love sport and reading.

UPDATE 2017: Hawa was very pleased to receive a letter from her new sponsor and enjoyed Sports Day

GOOD NEWS! We are pleased Hawa now has a sponsor.

However there are 6 more children like Hawa that are still in need of a sponsor.
They are those most in need and who would otherwise not be able to attend beyond primary school.It costs just £5 per month or £60 per year to sponsor a child like Hawa. Can you help?

Alimamy’s story

Alimamy Barrie was sitting at the roadside crying when the Acting Head Master, Solomon Scott-Manga drove past. He turned his moped around and went back, the young boy was crying because he couldn’t go to school. Solomon took him to St Paul’s, showed him around and asked if they were able to arrange it would he like to go to that school? A dream come true for this child. Alimamy is an orphan and lives with a family from the same area. Every morning and evening he delivers bread to buy his food for that day. The committee in Bo agreed to put his name forward for sponsorship. He is one of the many children who missed schooling due to the war. He started his first year at senior school at the age of 14 and has continued to deliver bread before and after school to pay for his food. His sponsor visited Bo in 2012 and what could you give a football mad teenager but a football Manual. Alimamy despite missing so much early schooling is now in Class 3 in Senior Secondary school.

UPDATE 2017: Alimany has chosen not to return following the enforced school closure due to Ebola. None of the pupils contracted Ebola.
