Dear donors of the PEACH Foundation: Greetings! I am a freshman in high school, currently studying at Yanyuan Town Minzu Secondary School. My family has faced a lot of hardships, and my teacher said you are able to provide support to families in poverty. Therefore I’m submitting this application. Let me tell you a bit more about my family conditions: My family lives in Shuwen Town, Guanfang Village. There are four members in my family: my father, my mother, my brother and myself. Our house is made of soil. It’s not beautiful to look at but it is enough to shelter us. My parents are both farmers. Most of our income comes from farming and largely depends on our crop harvest. My father sometimes tries to find odd jobs to make some money, but they are mostly labor jobs and don’t provide much income.

Three years ago my mother died and my father disappeared. My grandmother brought me to Peace School and fortunately, they have provided for me. My days at Peace School begin at 4:00 a.m. when we get up, bathe, dress and brush our teeth. Then we prepare our lessons. Around 7 a.m. we have tea. Classes begin at 7:30 a.m. Lunch is served at 1:00 p.m. We eat matoke, rice and beans that have been prepared in the School kitchen. We eat in an open air dining shed located in the school yard. During recess in the mornings and afternoons we play football and other games. The school day ends at 4: 30 p.m. After dinner we do homework and sometimes chores at the school. By 9:00 p.m. we are in bed for the night. Â I have studied hard at Peace School and have won some academic competitions. My favorite subject is Social Studies. My best friend is Arnold. We like to study together. Â If I can achieve my dream of being a doctor I would like to help other orphans. I would appreciate your help in obt...
Solo Village School Repair
$500 of $500 donated
Bougouni, Mali
Originally constructed ten years ago, the school in the rural village of Solo in Mali, West Africa has severely deteriorated due to lack of quality structural supplies and the abuse of harsh weather conditions. The building was built with mud bricks covered by a thin layer of cement. The cement on the floors and ceilings is beginning to crack and break, and in one classroom the broken concrete has left a large hole in the floor, leaving the classroom unusable if the ground is wet from rain. Another classroom has a make-shift roof of poor-quality tin that leaks during the rainy season. The tin roof needs to be replaced by a durable cement roof and the floors are in need of durable cement to prevent cracking and flooding.
