Meet Amon Muinde and Robert Kasombo Yes, when you look at them, you can’t tell them apart – these two boys from the Kibera slums are twins. Since joining the program more than 5 years ago, Amomn and Robert have fought their way up to the top of the Tennis Africa Cup (www.tennisafrica.info) and are really very excited: they are finally at the top of the list for the next juniors to win the coveted scholarship to Malezi School, the academy school that provides education on behalf of Malezi Sports Academy. They both attended a rigourous interview at the school, and here is what the Deputy Principal, Mr. Francis Okong’o, had to say, “Coming from a non-formal school, their education levels are not at par with the other children in the school yet, but our tests have revealed that the boys are obviously well behaved, and quick learners, on top of being talented tennis and basketball players. We hope that they can come in early next year, should sponsorship funds be available”. With your help, we can give these two boys a stab at a better life, Go to: www.globalgiving.com/1853 The African Child Sport & Education Fund Needs You
