About

Teddy lives in Ng'ombe with his 25 year old cousin. His mother moved to the other side of Lusaka with his sisters to a more affordable area. They left Teddy with his cousin so that he could stay in school and because his mother couldn't afford a house big enough for him and his sisters. Teddy doesn't get to visit his mother and sisters often, and he misses them terribly. His cousin provides for him by working as a cleaner at a local grocery store. Teddys favorite thing to do is play futbol on the weekend with his team, the Super Eagles. Teddy likes school every much because it teaches him to be a good and successful person. Teddy understands how big of an impact being sponsored would have on his life. It would mean he could stay in school and he would have all the materials he needs to support his education. Teddy achieved the 2nd position in his class at Ng'ombe PTA school.

Our Dearest Sponsors,

How are you doing, your families and friends? As for me I am fine and they are fine too. We recently opened our school for the new term which is term three, the last term in grade eight, so I will be in grade 9.

I just want to thank all of our donor sponsors for the support and contribution you have given me to start this new term very well, for you have given your money for me to start the term at the beginning of the term. May our good Lord bless you, thank you very much.
