Background:
Medard is the only child born to his parents, who parted ways and no one knows their whereabouts. Medard stays with his grandmother, who rescued him after he was thrown away by his parents, upon separation. He is called an orphan because his grandmother considers the parents dead, the fact that no one knows where they are. At home, Medard stays with 6 other children. The family live in absolute poverty and acquiring a good meal each day is always a hassle. They live in a two roomed muddy house. The guardians are laborers who earn a living from doing casual work in the village - like digging in gardens. The family does not have any domestic animals or poultry. Medard moves a long distance to reach school early in the morning, because he loves school and his best subject is mathematics. Medard is a bright pupil in class and his dream career after studies is to become a medical doctor.
You can sponsor Medard for $50 per month.
ABOUT YOUR NEW SPONSORSHIP
To sponsor a child or class, complete the form above with your contact details, naming the child or class, and their number.
We will be in touch by email and forward a form for filling in your payment details and other information. You can scan, fill in and email back to our office, or take a photo on your phone and send to us.
Soon, you will receive an introductory letter from your selected child or class / teacher from Africa, and a beautiful profile card of your child/class.
African children love receiving letters from you, as well as a photo of your family. These can be scanned and emailed to our office for forwarding to our partner in Africa who will print and deliver your letter.
Sponsored children can be visited in country depending on their local environment at the time, your visa, or permit to enter a refugee settlement and arrangements with our African project partner.
Please note: every African child wants to be a doctor or a lawyer, a pilot or an engineer! Your sponsorship may not get them that far, however, they will have a brighter future, whether they complete secondary, tertiary or a vocational course.
It is good to be aware that sometimes children leave the region and are lost from our program, others are forbidden to continue study, some are forced into early marriage and occasionally some die. We hope that your sponsoring experience will be a long and rewarding one.
Enquiries? Please call in to Jambo Sana, 72 Main Rd, Nairne, or phone our office Wednesday to Friday 0881880398 or email hope@ahi.org.au
Thankyou for Caring!
