Drumroll please!

I told my friend, Terri Birchfield, that I would reveal the Form 1 student her family is sponsoring this weekend.  So, I will say again, "Drumroll please...."

Meet Gad Wesonga!

Gad is one of my favorites.  His name is pronounced "god" and admittedly at times you feel awkward calling him god, but it is his name.  Gad is very bright.  He's an extremely talented artist.  He also likes to dance and sing.  He's one cool kid!

While we've got that drum out, let's have one more drumroll, please....

This is Issah Ibrahaim

Issah is being sponsored by Roy and Ginger Battle.  Issah loves to read novels, they help him with his English.  He's also a very good soccer player.  Issah is sweet and funny.  He's not quite as comfortable with his English as some of the others, but he tries (I'm not very comfortable with my Swahili so I totally understand...)!  

So that leaves three more kiddos this year that still need sponsorship to go to high school.  I am hopeful these kids will get sponsorship for the next four years at $500 per year.  It is my hope, and the hope of ACO who I work with, that these kids will be able to complete high school, go on to University and upon completion of their schooling, will be in a position to give back to their country and help it restore to a better place.
