Grace Nakisozi
$235 of $360 donated
Kampala, Uganda
My name is Grace Nakisozi. I am eight years old and the youngest child in my family. My family and I live in the village several miles away from the Circle of Peace School. I have one sister. Her name is Jessica, and she is nine years old. Several years ago, my father was eaten by a crocodile as we were getting water from the river. After I saw the crocodile eat my father, I was in shock and could not speak or hear for six months. I am starting to hear and speak again; however, it is very difficult. Soon after my father died, my mother passed away after she became really sick. Now I live with my grandmother who raises me and my brother and sister. My sister and I help my grandmother pick food. I love to go to the Circle of Peace School because I want to have a better life and be better able to help my family, like the other students at my school. The Circle of Peace School is my new family, and I promise to work hard in school. My dream is to build a well for my village so that my f...

, Paraguay
I have many goals but some of them are to improve my life by studying agriculture or biology in the U.S. if possible, or here in Paraguay. I love the education but I know the education system is not as good here. Also, I would like to help my mother and my little brothers. I want to marry and have children but I will be whatever I want, it’s up to me! If I could change one thing about my community, I would like to make more public services available for the people. I would also like to lessen the poverty, and help other children like me that want to improve their lives and their communities.

Kinangop, Kenya
Ruth is the oldest girl at our Centre and also the newest. She loves to laugh with her friends and is settling into her new home well. She says the best part about living at Flying Kites is “going to school” and she enjoys wearing her uniform everyday. Ruth is eager to learn new skills and will work at something until she perfects it. She loves taking photos of other students and volunteers. While Flying Kites respects our children's right to privacy, we feel it important to convey to their supporters the various desperate situations from which they have come. In a cross-small section of the children living at the Flying Kites Leadership Academy, you will find that all of the children in our care were born into absolute poverty. The children who are accepted into our Home have no other options for care with extended family members, or they have been removed from their parent's custody. We cater to children who have been orphaned, abused, abandoned, and raped. Some of the...

Hi. My name is Ali Mukasa. I am thirteen years old. My brother Abu is ten, Victor is nine and my little sister Maria is seven. I live in the village with my grandmother, sisters, and brother. During the holiday when I am at the village people hire brothers and me to help dig in their garden and field, and my family and the people in our village help me when I need something. Sometimes it gets too hot, but we still have to work. We have each other and look out for other children on the village. Always, I play the role of a father in house. My grandmother and siblings look up to me. I always tell them everything will be okay. I am also very grateful for Grandma Amina and the white people who bring clothes, shoes, and cookies from the city whenever they visit. On my own I have been learning how to read, and I am teaching my sister and brothers. I am now thankful to be going to the Circle of Peace School to learn more and have a proper education.

Chao Xu (徐超)
$250 of $250 donated
Sichuan, China
Six years ago, my father mysteriously disappeared, leaving my mother to raise my sister and me by herself. Although my family owns a small parcel of land, my mother’s health conditions prevent her from actually laboring in the fields. To make ends meet, my family rents out our fields (and even parts of our home) to other farmers. Because my mother works in the city to earn an income for the family, I currently live with my grandmother. I do not see my mother except during the wintertime or under special circumstances. My younger sister lives with an uncle and currently attends elementary school. (Translated from Chao's autobiographical sketch)
