NAME: Queen Umwari (F) RN036
DATE OF BIRTH: 1st September 2012
CLASS: Primary Four (P4)
SCHOOL: Nakivale HOPE Nursery & Primary School
NATIONALITY: Rwandan
Queen was born in Nakivale refugee camp. She stays with her parents who fled war from Rwanda after the 1994 genocide when most relatives were killed. Ever since they have been in the camp because it is risky for them to go back to Rwanda since they are regarded as rebels. The parents have four children and they all stay together. The family lives in a one roomed muddy house that is roofed with tarpaulins donated by UNHCR. The parents are laborers who earn a living from doing casual work in the village; like digging in gardens and carrying luggage. The family does not have any domestic animal or poultry. Queen travels a long distance to reach school at early morning because she loves school. Queen is a bright pupil in class and her dream career after studies is to become a medical doctor.
You can sponsor Queen 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!
