Dana showed up one day at the Center, alone and disheveled. We soon learned she was an orphan, the eldest in her family, that lived in a nearby hut. She was solely responsible for taking care of her brother and sister.
We began to help her right away. Dana is a hard worker and desperately wants to provide for her brother and sister. She is kind, very popular at the Center and we have loved seeing a smile come back on her face!

Thanks to your sponsorship of Dana, she was able to fix her thatched hut for herself and her siblings. Look at the during and after photos!
All three will benefit from a better roof in all seasons - protection from the rain, sun and wind!
Thank you for your generous support. It matters!

Dana did so well in school this year! She was able to study hard and improve both her math skills and her vocabulary.
The center has been working hard with her since she came in to help her improve her social skills. Dana now has many friends, a few close friends she calls her sisters.
It is nice to see Dana start to blossom, she has come so far in just one year. We are looking forward to watching her grow.
