32 Opportunities

This week, I want to introduce you to 32 vulnerable but bright children.   These 19 girls and 13 boys took their national 8th-grade exit exam in March this year and performed exceptionally well.   This accomplishment was achieved despite the challenges of school closures for months, travel restrictions, and a myriad of social challenges due to Covid-19.  These children also are from families that live in abject poverty.  They are now excited to join high school next month.  However, without financial sponsorship, these bright minds have no hope for further education.  But we can bring hope to this hopeless situation.

I am appealing to anyone who can sponsor a child, either for the first time or those who can take one more child to please do so. Or you may know others in your network who can be incredibly blessed by sponsoring a needy child.  It costs just $38 a month to give one or several of these amazing young people a chance to make it in life.  Also, this is a great opportunity for those looking for a shorter-term commitment as high school is only a four-year commitment.

Thank you for your prayerful consideration to create a pathway for one or several of these vulnerable children.
