A colleague from Zambia was visiting the AIDSLink ministry in South Africa and told the team about a child who was in a difficult situation.
They made a house visit and discovered a young boy who had lost both his parents and was staying with his sister and brother, who were both unemployed. Consequently he was not studying well, nor eating well.
We took him in to be part of the after school programme, so he could get some coaching with his school work and a good meal each day. He was struggling a lot with anger and swearing, but since coming to centre he is getting a better little by little, he is also getting stronger physically, now he has a lot energy and even tells some jokes.
This year he attended the annual kids camp for the first time and was overwhelmed to be a part of this weekend away.
Thank-you for helping children like him to get good nutrition which helps them to focus in school and grow physically. We couldn't do it without you!
