Aisha is a 14yrs old girl in P.6 who has 7 siblings (3 girls and 4 boys) staying with both parents in a single room house.
She wants to thank her sponsor for sponsoring her and for their good kind heart. Aisha says that that she feels happy to be sponsored because she now gets a better education which she used not to get before. Aisha says that she now has a uniform, socks and shoes that she didn’t have before getting a sponsor. She also says that she used to go to school in open shoes and didn’t have a uniform; she used to go to school in casual clothes but now she is always smart in shoes, socks and a school uniform. Aisha says that ever since she got sponsored, her grades have improved in class; she used to miss a lot of classes/lessons due to lack of school fees resulting into poor performance but now she has improved. Aisha’s parents would always worry about where they would get their child’s School fees to send her to school to fulfill her dream of becoming a nurse whenever she would get sent home for school fees but now they don’t worry anymore, thanks to Aisha’s Sponsor. Aisha prays for her Sponsor to have a long life.

Sumaya says that being sponsored by Mark & Trisha Oppeau is the best thing that has ever happened to her in her life. It feels great to be sponsored because she now gets a better education; she doesn’t miss out on class lessons like she used to at her previous school. It is through this sponsorship program that she got Mark as a sponsor and that now provides her with, school fees, a uniform, socks and shoes she didn’t have before. She used to go to school barefoot but now she has school shoes. All thanks to Mark, she is always looking smart in her shoes, socks and a school uniform.
