Hope

Hope was born on , we found her in Chitungwiza Hospital after her Mother passed away with HIV/Aids. Hope is a very beautiful little girl, she is craving attention and affirmation, she has the most beautiful smile in the world! Hope was in good health when we brought her from the hospital to Jabulani and has a very good appetite! Nothing is ever left on her plate! She is sometimes prone to tears if things just don’t go her way and if Grace is winning a race with her she  often stops competing, she is also learning very quickly at pre school and is a good pupil, she loves to watch TV especially “Balamory “, we have a dvd of this programme and it is getting worn out! Hope knows rhymes and loves to sing, she copies every song she hears and sings in bed every night! Hope loves to be loved!

Can you help?

We would ask you to pray and think if you would like to be involved in Hope’s  life, we are seeking to build an education fund which will enable us to send her to a top school here in Harare and give her a chance to excel. The Government schools have an average class size of 50 children and costs US$120 per term, there are 3 terms per school year, an A grade school costs US$250 per term, and a private school is anything from US$750 to a Christian private school at US$1500 per term. If you think you would like to get involved with us in sponsoring Hope for school please send us an e mail with Hope  in the subject box, you can sponsor any amount on a monthly, per term or annual basis. Thank you for reading this we look forward to hearing from you, as you can see from Hope,s birthday she is still a few years away from school age but we are trying to build a fund to see what type of school we can send her to, we want her to have as great an opportunity as we can provide, we don’t know what the fees will be when she actually starts school! We will put all monies received into her personal fund and it will not be used for any other purpose.
