We have been blessed to have a flurry of new sponsorships
recently! Since December 1, we have been
able to give 18 of our Galilee Primary School, Waddington High School, and Holly House students (pictured above) the
wonderful news that “You have been sponsored!”
Some of these children have been chosen by sponsors new to our
group. In other cases long-term sponsors
have chosen a child to replace a one who has graduated from the program, or to
add to the total number they sponsor.
Sponsorship makes a tremendous difference in the lives of
our Nairobi Kids. We noticed last week
that while 95% of the sponsored children have returned to school at GPS/WHS
this year, that number is significantly lower for those waiting to be
sponsored. For our Nairobi Kids, your
sponsorship can mean the difference between whether a child graduates from high
school, or drops out early to toil in the slums.
The children on the Plant-a-Book International website represent only a small
fraction of those eligible for the sponsorship program. Virtually all of the children attending GPS
and WHS live in extreme poverty and would benefit greatly from the love and
financial support of a sponsor. One of
our primary goals this year is to increase the number of children we have
sponsored. In order to achieve this
goal, we need your help. Please spread
the word about our Nairobi Kids to your friends, families, and colleagues. Thank you all for your support in helping to
secure a quality education for our Nairobi Kids!
