Kampala, Uganda
I have attended Peace Nursery and Primary School from the time I was old enough to enroll in Nursery School. Five years ago my parents died. Since then the School has provided me a place to live, food, medical care, and covered all my educational expenses. I live in a one-room dormitory with 14 other boys. One of the teachers stays in the dorm with us. On holidays I travel to the Village of Mityana to visit my grandmother and see my sisters and brothers. I am the top student in my class. I like to study and am very disciplined. Social studies is my favorite subject. I will graduate from Peace Nursery and Primary School in December 2009. I want to enroll in secondary school and then college but this will depend on finding funding for my education. I would appreciate your help. Note: Peace Nursery and Primary School is a private school serving orphans and other children unable to afford the costs of attending public schools. As such, it receives no funding from public sources. L...

Bogota, Colombia
My name is Erika Natalia. I am 11 years old. I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, South America. I live with my mother Lilian Rocio, my stepfather Jonny Alexander, my younger brother Sergio and my little sister Stefany. We live in a rented apartment located in southern Bogota, an area where displaced and very poor people live. My real father abandoned my mother when she was pregnant. Hence I do not know him and have not received any support from him. My stepfather and my mother do not have jobs right now. My stepfather is looking for a job and my mother has to stay home to take care of us. Unfortunately, unemployment rates are very high in my country but my parents hope to find a full time job so they can pay debts and cover daily expenses. Not having a job and having to pay utilities, food, transportation and school expenses for my younger brother and me, my family is very short of money. Right now we are using some money my family had saved and also getting support from my grandmother...

My name is Ayesa Esquivel. I am in the 1st year of high school at the Institute Reinaldo Macchi. I live with my mother and my 5 younger brothers, I am the oldest. I am a very responsible girl, very punctual, happy, sensitive, trustworthy and dedicated to my studies. A majority of my time is spent studying in and outside of my Institution. Being accepted as a student of the Institute was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. As of now I have more opportunities than before and I am looking forward to building a better life for me and my family. In my free time I like to read, play handball, volleyball and listen to music. I enjoy being with my friends and family too.

Benson Nderitu
$25 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.
