I came to Peace School one year ago when my mother died. My father is related to the cook at Peace School and she suggested that I come here to complete my primary education. It has been difficult because the classes here are taught in English. The old school I attended uses our native language Luganda. But I am learning English very fast. I live in the Boy’s Dormitory with 14 other boys. Ali is my best friend. We study together and play together. I like to study, and English has become my favorite subject. During the holiday I travel back to my village to see my father and family. It is a long journey. When I grow up I would like to be an airplane pilot. I would love to look down at the earth from the sky. I would like to visit other countries, especially America. I hope you can help me achieve my dreams by helping me obtain an education. Note: Peace Nursery and Primary School is a private school serving orphans and other children unable to afford the costs of attendi...

My name is Laura Vanessa. I was born in a small town called El Cocuy, on November 13, 1996, at 1:15 a.m. I am 11 years old. My mother’s name is Nydia Arleny and my father’s is Jairo Andrés. I have one younger sister and one younger brother. Their names are Angelica Paola and Jairo. My father works as a truck driver. My mother stays home and takes care of us. We live in a rented apartment. My father is gone most of the time because he travels a lot. It is part of his job. My family has financial difficulties because the only income we have is from my dad’s job. School expenses and food cost the most. We do not own a house yet because my parents are paying for our education and can not afford to get a house. My mother does not have a job because the town where we live is very small and the jobs available are already taken. I am on 7th grade. I attend the Urbana Mixta School. My younger sister and brother also attend the same school. They are in 3rd and 2nd grade. In my spare ti...
Benson Nderitu
$0 of $400 donated
Kinangop, Kenya
Benson and his older brother were abandoned in 2006. Locked in an apartment for several days, the boys were discovered by concerned neighbors who found them alone. Benson's brother has died from the neglect. Benson was taken by Kamau, his 84-year-old neighbor, to the hospital for treatment. When it was time for Benson to be released, there was no one but Kamau to take him in. Kamau cared for Benson to the best of his ability for well over a year. But when Benson came to FKKCC, he was severely malnourished and needed immediate medical attention, as he is HIV positive. After just a few months at FKKCC Benson was already making huge strides; he gained weight thanks to the ARV medication, he jumped right into his school work, and started learning how to ride a bike. In order to remain healthy, Benson needs a great deal of care and attention, a nutritious and balanced diet, and needs to follow a strict schedule of medication.
