THESE ARE SOME OF THE PEN PALS THAT WE CONNECT WITH AND LOVE!!!!
This is Naomi, and her pen pal is Anne-Marie, who absolutely adores Naomi.
Blandina (with her beautiful family) is pen pals with Kate who loves her dearly and is so proud of her going to a boarding school where she is class monitor already. Her sister, Naomi, is above and pen pals with Anne-Marie and little Sam is pen pals with Steven, who loves music also. Sam stars in "Mwanda, the Great". Google it to see his great acting abilities.
Many of these children would love to have a sponsor that would just take the time to let them know they have another friend somewhere. 100% of the money goes to their education, textbooks, soccer boots, chess sets, bikes for transportation as the bus is too expensive, and currently, for their first shower and latrine at the center.
This is our Dr. Akapelwa aka. Robin Hood and his pen pal Ali and him are like brothers. Kate also adores this young man!!!
Florence's penpal Maiya is 12 and she comes to the school to help fundraise. For her birthday last yar, she asked her friends to bring a donation for Florence and no presents. She used the money to send clothes to Florence.
Dancing and drumming are a big part of the program at the youth center as well
