As a part of our Radical Advent Christmas campaign we want to share a story of a very determined young girl from Kisunka. Angela lost her parents when she was just two years old. Her aunt took her in, but like most other villagers, she works on a farm and earns barely enough money to survive. As a young girl, Angela struggled with her job of taking the family goats to graze for most of the day, leaving little time for play.
When Kisunka Community Based Organization (CBO) began caring for her, she had never been in school. Now, at nine years old, she is in second grade and working hard. After facing many challenges, Angela says she has big dreams for her future and is grateful to Kisunka CBO for enabling her to attend school. She has made friends with the other children and feels loved by the Kisunka CBO care workers who visit her at home.Make this a Radical Advent by supporting Hands at Work in improving access to education to poor children in Africa!
