Below is a letter from Claudine that she wrote to introduce herself to donors. She is an incredibly bright girl who, unfortunately, has not been supported by her community due to the way that she was conceived. Her mother later abandoned her due to shame. Our partner, AMCAV, began to support her in middle school and she has flourished. Please help us to support Claudine's education!

Translation of Claudine's letter:
"I am Claudine Kigwasa, a student in my second year of Cycle of Orientation Action Kusaidia Education Complex in Uvira. I thank the Green family for having paid for my studies.
I was born into a poor family without a father and of a mother driven away from the locality of Rwenena. Being that I am an offspring of violence (rape), I am without a person of goodwill who can support my studies in my family. I say thank you to Mrs. Annette Scarpitta, who has thought of the vulnerable children of DRC for their education for which I have also been identified through AMCAV, headed by Mrs. Bernadette Ntumba.
I say thank you to all the people of good will that support vulnerable children like me for the advancement of their education in DRC. Thanks to the education you have provided to me, I will be one of the great helpful women of society and I will never forget to support the children in the same category as myself.
(Signed)"
