Patrick’s\u00a0Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My name is Patrick and at 14 yrs I am in JSS3.<\/p>\n

I lost my parents during the Ebola outbreak and I am\u00a0being assisted by my Grandmother. She sells charcoal to sustain the family. I am the only boy in the\u00a0photograph. Right by my Grandmother (Emma) is my younger sister Kadiatu, and closer to me is my\u00a0cousin Ramatu.<\/p>\n

My family really appreciates your kind work.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”sponsored-child” css=”.vc_custom_1464688640449{border-bottom-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-color: #186aad !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}” el_id=”hawas-story”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\"hawa\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Hawa\u2019s story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My name is Hawa Sellu. I am 12 years old. I am in JSS 1 at the St Paul\u2019s school. I have 8 brothers and a sister. I am staying with my aunt. I love sport and reading.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2017:<\/span><\/strong> Hawa was very pleased to receive a letter from her new sponsor and enjoyed Sports Day<\/p>\n

GOOD NEWS! <\/span><\/strong>We are pleased Hawa now has a sponsor.<\/p>\n

However there are 6 more children like Hawa that are still in need of a sponsor.
\n<\/span><\/strong>They are those most in need and who would otherwise not be able to attend beyond primary school.It costs just \u00a35 per month or \u00a360 per year to sponsor a child like Hawa. Can you help?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Alimamy\u2019s story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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\u2019t go to school. Solomon took him to St Paul\u2019s, 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.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2017:<\/span><\/strong> Alimany has chosen not to return following the enforced school closure due to Ebola. None of the pupils contracted Ebola.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”sponsored-child” css=”.vc_custom_1464689215215{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Mathilda\u2019s story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jebbah Kanimah exchanged letters periodically with her sponsor. It caused great sadness when we heard unexpectedly that she was pregnant and died in child birth. Mathilda, Jebbah\u2019s younger sister was given the sponsorship place in 2012. Although saddened by her sister\u2019s tragic death Mathilda is taking full advantage of possibly her only chance to attend secondary school. She has worked hard and is now at Senior Secondary School in Class 3 with a further year of schooling ahead of her.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Matilda has been successfully promoted to SSS4, the final year of senior secondary school.<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1464186777110{background-color: #1eb539 !important;}” el_class=”white-text”][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”cta-wrap download”]<\/p>\n
