Meet Ezekieli

When I was in Engaruka I saw many children and families in desperate need of help. One child in particular really stuck out to me. He was the smallest of the children that would come asking for candy and also the most shy. It took him three days before he would come all the way up to me to get his candy. On the fourth day however he was leading the pack to come and get some candy from me. His name is Ezekieli. He lives in a boma with five other children and his grandmother. His mother had him while she was still in primary school and he is being raised by his grandmother since his mother passed exams and is continuing with her schooling. They invited me into their boma to show me around and were so welcoming and kind to me.

Ezekieli's family is very poor and does not have enough money to send him to school next year. When I heard this I decided that I would help fund this sweet little boys schooling. With our contact in the village he will take little Ezekieli to the nearest town, Mosquito river, where he will buy his uniform and supplies. Then he will be taken to the village council where the rest of the money will go to fund his education. I have seen a lot of families and children that need help the last month and this is my way of making a difference. Education opens so many doors for these children and I feel so lucky to be able to help him open so many new doors for himself.

If you would like to help Ezekieli as well please let me or Matt know.

With love from Africa,

Sarah and Ezekieli
