Remember the Children


Three of the attendees in our program have a child and are unmarried. None of them have employment which makes it very challenging to meet the responsibilites of parenthood. Pictured here is Joseph and his little angel, Joy. Isn't she adorable? She is entering grade one this year and the YDM program has helped with her school expenses along with 7 others related to this program - some are younger brothers or sisters of attendees. It brings us pleasure to help in this way. The government schools here require school tuition as well as uniforms, and of course, books, and supplies. Cost for one child per year is about $75 US, about N$1000. For unemployed parents, it's nearly impossible without some sort of sponsorship either from relatives or someone with a BIG heart! So, thank you to all our partners for helping with schooling these 8 little ones.
