About

Aaron lives with both his parents, his siblings and his one nephew. He now lives in Kabanana, just outside Ng'obe in a house made of mud with an iron roof. His house does not have electricity, or running water. Aaron helps out by fetching two 20 liter jugs of water for drinking, and three jugs for bathing and washing every morning, including washing plates and sweeping. His mother sells tomatoes and onions in the compound, but she is the only one bringing in money to their family. Aaron likes to read and play soccer in his spare time. Aaron likes school very much because learning new things brings him joy. He was inspired to become a doctor when his mom got very sick with Malaria, so he studies hard so he can one day help sick people. Aaron says that having a sponsor gives him hope that he will be able to finish school and reach his dreams. Aaron is third in his class at Ng'ombe PTA School.

Hi Aaron!

It has been a while since I have written you. I'm glad to hear that your mother is doing better! The weather in Spain is getting cooler, as it is now Autum. Happy almost birthday! What will you do to celebrate? How old are you turning?

How do you like the Hunger Games? I read that book, and really liked it! I am now reading the Maze Runner, and it is very good. I think you would like it!

Things in Spain are good - I am teaching High School during the day, and then I teach younger kids in the afternoon. I am currently in the United States because my brother got married last Sunday! It was so nice to be with my family. I don't think I will be home for Christmas, so I have to enjoy the time I have now. I will be going back to Spain on Sunday.

I hope all is well with you and that you keep working hard!

Love,

Chrissy
Dear Sponsors,

Hi! Como estas? Chrissy- how is the job going? To me here, I'm doing fine. My mother who was very sick is fortunately recovering. How is the weather in Spain? Is it as in the US? Here is sunny and its very hot. I was born under this month so my birthday will be on 22nd of October.

Concerning school, this term is full of breaks. the grade sevens are having their government exams which will start on the 13th of October. They will be writing for one week which means we are going to give them a change until they finished writing their exams. After the grade sevens, it will be the grade nine's and we will break for two weeks. During these breaks I will be going through what I have learned and studying. But at the moment we are having a team reading book with Carly. We are reading The Hunger Games. Last month we read A Long Walk To Water. During the August holiday I read Gifted Hands by Doctor Ben Carson.

Thank you for everything. My regards to all of you, and to all the people you meet in Spain, Chrissy.

    Enoch Kisavi

    Kenya

    Enoch comes from a humble family of two and he is the first born child. His parents are unemployed and depend on casual jobs to sustain their family and thus unable to raise his secondary school fees. Despite staying home for most of the time throughout his primary education due to lack of school levies, his dream to become a mechanical engineer has kept her focused. Enoch has seen a number of people in his area struggle too much when their machines and engines break down and there is no one to help repair them. He would also like to help the needy and poor families support their children in becoming better persons in the future. His hobbies are drawing and taking photographs. He holds on to the quote that says the road to success is not straight.
