Alleluia Is Now Able To Go To School
Alleluia Promise, 13, is an orphan who stays with
her grandmother in Nalweyo sub-county, Kibaale
district, Uganda. Through sponsorship, she is
able to go to school and wants to become a
teacher after her education. I no longer worry
about getting wet in the classroom when it rains,
or struggling to write from the floor, exclaims
13-year-old Alleluia Promise, perched at the edge
of her seat in her classroom. World Vision built
us classrooms and gave us desks!

Sponsorship Brings a Rosy Future for Ingyin May
Ingyin May is four, and before becoming a
sponsorsed child, she was small and often unwell.
Her parents have little knowledge about nutrition
and do not have much time to look after their
children as they need to struggle to get a small
daily income. As a sponsored child, she now
receives educational, medical and other supports.
Her family also benefits from World Vision
activities, including nutrition training. Ingyin
has now started to learn to read and write and
she has gained weight. "I want to see my daughter
as an educated person, " said Ingyin's mom.
Little Ingyin also echoes her mothers words. "I
want to be a teacher," she says with her small
voice.

HIV Positive Pathias is Now Full of Hope
Pathias is HIV positive and is the only boy in a
family of five. His mother is also HIV positive,
and he lost his father to the virus in 2007.
Though Pathias has great passion for school, his
sickness almost ended his education. Thanks to
World Vision, his health has improved and he says
his sponsor has inspired him to work hard. I
thank my sponsor so much for being there for me,
especially for buying me the bicycle, blankets,
mattress and school materials. Let him know that
I love him so much and he should not stop
supporting me so that I can finish school just
like I have promised him before, Pathias
emphasizes.
