By LInda Wilkinson | Remember!
The word Chikumbuso in Nyanga means to "remember" .. we remember many things at our project. How we started with nothing, how AIDS was wiping out our families, how microenterprise and education has changed our lives. This year Chikumbuso celebrates 10 years of being in Ng’ombe working hard to help others find their way in the world. This road is not easy for our children so I ask that you remember their struggle. Education asks these students (especially the girls) to break with the past and move on into a future that is coming at them fast and furiously. Their lives have been bound by poverty and poverty does not want to let them go. Despite the blessing of a free education several of our children, especially the girls, have chosen to drop out of school as they hit puberty. The cultural pressures to marry and have children are strong. Although we have many that stay in school we can’t help but weep for those who leave. We covet your support for their futures and your willingness to remember them on a daily basis.
