Kampala, Uganda
My brother and I came to Peace School when my father died two years ago. My mother could not afford to take care of us so she turned us over to the care of Peace School. Niukasa Musa, my 10-year old brother, is in the Primary 3 class. He lives in the Boy’s Dormitory and I live in the Girl’s Dormitory. My best friend is named Vivian. She is a Muslim like me. On Fridays we go to the Mosque for prayers. Altogether there are three Muslim girls in our dormitory. My favorite subject is science. I would like to be a doctor and help sick people get well. I hope you can help me achieve my dream of being a doctor. Note: Peace Nursery and Primary School is a private school serving orphans and other children unable to afford the costs of attending public schools. As such, it receives no funding from public sources. Located in a suburb of Uganda’s capital city Kampala, the school is in a highly urban setting and must pay for water and sanitation service as well as teacher salar...

Brenda Lacan
$195 of $300 donated
Solola, Guatemala
14-year old Brenda is from the small city of Santiago, Atitlan. Santiago the epicenter of the Tzutijil Mayan group and is also the largest indigenous-run city in Central America. Brenda’s first language was Tzutijil and she learned Spanish in school. Brenda’s mother Maria is illiterate and never attended school. She recalls how her parents would hide her under the bed during door-to-door school recruitment campaigns. Brenda’s maternal grandfather believed that an education would be wasted on his daughters and that they were better off working to support the family. Maria worked as a domestic servant from the age of 9 to help support her poor parents, and was severely mistreated on several occasions. Maria was a teenage bride and mother- yet she still vowed that her daughters would get an education to avoid a similar fate. Brenda is the youngest of 7 siblings. Her father, who studied until the 3rd grade, makes a meager living repairing school uniforms. Her mother does some embr...

Concepcion Xep
$190 of $300 donated
Solola, Guatemala
Concepción and her family are from the small city of Santiago, Atitlán. Santiago is the epicenter of the Mayan Tzutujil group, and Tzutujil is Concepción’s mother tongue. Like the majority of indigenous women, Concepción’s mother never attended school, nor did her father. Both are illiterate and unable to speak Spanish. Concepción’s mother married at 16 and began having children at 17. The predictable yet devastating cycle of poverty has produced 9 living children (2 that died under the age of 2). It took everything that both Concepción and the family had to get her through the 6th grade. Concepción is starting the 8th grade this year and is in her second year of the Starfish One by One program. Starfish One by One provides Concepción with a partial scholarship that ensures her access to secondary school (this is provided by an individual donor). This small scholarship is a critical component of Concepción’s ongoing education. However, Concepción still faces many d...

Yun Nan, China
Dear respective supporters, Greetings. I live in the Yun-Yang county, Feng Chun Ling city, in a village named Lao Zhao in a family of four. My father works as a day laborer while both my mother and myself are both sick – that make our family finance difficult. As far as I can remember, I was born with many illnesses: nose bleeding, stomach ache and headaches. I had kidney stone when I was in fourth grade, and my father had to work harder to cover my medical cost. During my eighth grade, my headache and nose bleeding came back, but I insisted attending classes with my hands holding on my nose; I was afraid of lagging behind in school if I went to hospital often. My father wants to take me to bigger hospital to treat me but the cost is high. Despite being a sick student, I have confidence that I can work harder, and my illness and financial difficulty will not prevent me becoming a useful member of society. My near term goal is to pass the exam and attend Jian-Shui First High School...

Hi. My name is Ali Mukasa. I am thirteen years old. My brother Abu is ten, Victor is nine and my little sister Maria is seven. I live in the village with my grandmother, sisters, and brother. During the holiday when I am at the village people hire brothers and me to help dig in their garden and field, and my family and the people in our village help me when I need something. Sometimes it gets too hot, but we still have to work. We have each other and look out for other children on the village. Always, I play the role of a father in house. My grandmother and siblings look up to me. I always tell them everything will be okay. I am also very grateful for Grandma Amina and the white people who bring clothes, shoes, and cookies from the city whenever they visit. On my own I have been learning how to read, and I am teaching my sister and brothers. I am now thankful to be going to the Circle of Peace School to learn more and have a proper education.

We live in poverty, and I had been thinking of dropping out of school. But what else can I do? I cannot help my father. My father attended middle school; my mother attended only elementary school. My father insists my continuing school. In the family we also have our grandmother of 60 years old and my brother at 12, 3 years younger to me, to support. My brother achieves better grade than me so far; with your assistance and support, I will improve my grade standing by working harder. At the beginning of my schooling, I did not pay attention to class and lag behind. My father with patience gradually helps me out. He wakes me up early in the morning to go over recitation; after class, he supervises me to finish homework. With much improvement, I increase my confidence.

My name is Li Pu Ba and I am a sixteen year old girl. I am in my junior year of high school. I have seven people in my family, four kids. My parents are often out working, so only my grandparents are home most of the time. My siblings and I all are in school. I was born in an underdeveloped area near the mountain border. Although the World Vision has funded a concrete road through the village, the people in the village don’t have the capability to continue to build. Our village has very poor hygienic conditions. We don’t have the ability to construct facilities like pig pens, so people can leave around their pigs and chickens. You can see pig waste at the side of the road. Two years ago, my family started to build a house, but our family ran into economic problems, so the house remains unfinished. Because this condition has persisted, we use bamboo sheets to cover the windows to block the wind and sand from blowing in. It’s because of reasons like this why it is imperative tha...

Central, Kenya
Eva was born in Othaya district to a single mother. In addition to caring for her children, her mother was the primary caregiver for her sister, who was living with HIV. One day, on a trip to visit her sister who was in the hospital being treated for an opportunistic infection, Eva’s mother arrived to find that her sister had passed away in the evening. This caused her to faint and go into shock, and subsequently die herself. This left Eva and her older brother Eric (also listed on Givology!) with no family to support them. Francis, the director of Baraka Children's Centre, heard the story of Eric and Eva, and agreed to take them in. Since arriving at the centre, they have been able to take advantage of many newfound opportunities. Eva is a very strong student, and is always first in her class! Her favorite subject in school is English, and she has a positive attitude about life. Others describe her as very bright and with an undefeatable attitude! She has found a real family ...

I have many goals but some of them are to improve my life by studying agriculture or biology in the U.S. if possible, or here in Paraguay. I love the education but I know the education system is not as good here. Also, I would like to help my mother and my little brothers. I want to marry and have children but I will be whatever I want, it’s up to me! If I could change one thing about my community, I would like to make more public services available for the people. I would also like to lessen the poverty, and help other children like me that want to improve their lives and their communities.

Si Chuan, China
May 1, 1992 was the day I was born into my impoverished family. As an older person now, I look back to the memories of our five-person family unit surviving in brutal poverty. My home did not have much grain or rice, while others had a plentiful supply. We sometimes borrowed from other families to feed ourselves and return the amount back to them the next year. If we were lucky to have a good crop season, you can see the smiles on my family’s faces, and vice a versa. During Chinese New Year, others would kill their pigs to feast on, while we would never be able to. Without anything to eat, we would just hide at home, fearing that others would talk about our lack of festivities. But our family would never step foot inside another’s roof just to eat pork. During the course of my studies, my dad would cross many roads in the wind to get to my relatives’ houses to borrow my tuition. Here a little, and there a little, we would gather enough to send me to school
