It is with great sadness we share the news that a little girl at one of our partner schools has passed away. She got sick and deteriorated quickly and passed away in hospital. Our prayers go to the family as they say goodbye to their beautiful daughter. She was only nine years old.
We also share in the heartbreak of one of our teacher’s. Her baby girl was born just a couple of weeks premature but she struggled to live longer than a few weeks.
Devastating.
The nearness of death is still such an everyday reality for the families in the communities we work with in Zambia.
So, through the tears our resolve is strengthened to see lives changed and communities transformed. Such a quick and easy phrase to say and yet a long and difficult journey to take.
I don’t often openly ask for help, but will you join us? We can’t do it alone.
It might cost you. Sometimes in tears, sometimes in money. But I believe one day, together, we will see the change.
The more children we have sponsored at the schools, the more it enables us to release money in to wider community transformation – in to opportunities to see families lifted out of poverty, so that death is not so near.
So, please, consider sponsoring a child.
I promise it will make a difference.
