Missing....YOU....Become a Sponsor Today!
Thank you to every one who has
supported our sponsor a child program this year. Thanks to you, over 40
children have been able to learn a skill and are better able to support
themselves and their families. Over half of these children previously
lived on the street, thanks to their sponsors they now have a roof over
their heads and food on the table, they will never have to sleep on the
side of the street. Unfortunately, without sponsorship many children and
youth remain living in these conditions unable to break the cycle of
poverty....You can help change that.
Children like Betelhem are looking for
sponsors so that they can learn a skill such as hair dressing,
mechanic, carpenter, or metal work. Betelhem, was forced to leave her
home as her stepfather was an abusive alcoholic. She lived with her
uncle in another city for five years, when her mother remarried but a
similar situation arose. Again, she left her home and slept at the local
police station for a number of days. She is currently one of the
children receiving support through the YR Vocational Training
program.She is training to become a mechanic and is also attending night
school so she can get her high school diploma. Thanks to the help of
the social workers at the youth center, she was able to talk to her
mother and return home.Her mother expresses her feeling that the project
benefited her daughter in many ways like full educational support, free
medical care, psychological counseling and nutrition support. As she
said 'if the project is not in position to provide such services to my
daughter, she can’t survive from misery of life (life in street) and go
to school like other children'.
Betelhem is one of many children on the YR Vocational Training program.
You can support one of these children by donating €30 monthly for 12
months or one payment of €360. You can support a child here: http://youthrelease.com/sponsorformadobe.php
