The adorable little girl to the left is Violet. I sponsor Violet with another wonderful sponsor. She just emailed me this morning asking me if I'd like to join in the sponsorship and I said yes! Violet just turned four years old- her birthday was just on the 21st of September. She is in the preschool class and she wants to be a nurse when she grows up. Her favorite subject is numbers, and her favorite color is blue. Her chore at home is fetching water, and for fun she likes free play. Violet doesn't have any brothers, but she has three sisters, and she lives with them and her parents.
The young woman above on the right is Maggie. Maggie just turned 13 years old on September 7- she shares a birthday with my best female friend from college, Brooke! Maggie is in 9th grade. Her sponsorship is a little different- usually through Child Hope Zambia, sponsorship of a secondary student is $15 a month. But since Maggie is about to take her exams (in December) and already has a uniform and books, her sponsorship is just $9 per month until December. The results of her exams in December will determine whether she will be able to continue on in school. So I might only be sponsoring her for 3 more months, or I might (hopefully) be continuing to sponsor her until she finishes grade 12.
Maggie wants to be a journalist someday. Her favorite color is yellow, and her favorite subject in school is science. She loves to read, and at home her chores include washing the dishes. She lives with her grandparents, her two brothers and her three sisters.
