Stories:

Chinu, a single father of two daughters and a son. His wife left the family a year ago. It is difficult for him to raise his children by himself. We sponsored these children to continue school. But food and boarding has been a problem. This morning our volunteers Sorcha and Esme has come to us to discuss the future of these children and has offered help to support these children have better and brighter future. We will put these children in good boarding home facilities and continue school.. Thank you to the sponsors of these children who helped them with schooling, Sorcha and Esme for helping them with food and accommodation.
