The start of the New Year brings so many opportunities to improve and fresh beginnings. In Veronicah’s case the New Year was a source for anxiety because her school year begins January 3rd, 2012 and she was unsure if she would be able to attend her third year of high school. The economic hardships are hitting everywhere extreemly hard and Gerizim, the home where Veronicah lives is faced with choosing which of their students they can support to send back to school due to the high costs of Secondary School (High School).

Your generous donations of a year of tuition and a uniform could not have come at a better time! Veronicah will be trilled to learn she will be funded the full year. And the school uniform will ensure she has new clothes to return to school with which the home resports has a significant impact on the students confidences.

Thank you all for giving Veronicah a fresh beginning free from stress for 2012!!

Regina is 15 years old, and is one of 7 children in her family. Her mother is raising Regina and her siblings alone, and does not have the funds to send all of the children to school.

Because Regina is female, educating her is a lower priority. Regina submitted a letter to LittleDrops requesting assistance with her education. As she put it, she is “ready to fight for her future”, and promises to make good marks so that she can fulfill her dream of attending university so she can help needy children in the future.

Thank you for supporting Regina’s education!

Your combined donations have allowed Martha to attend her final year of high school at one of the best provincial schools in Kenya! Martha is highly focused on her education, and has consistently received good grades.

After completing her final exams in December, she is planning to apply for the University of Nursing College in Kenya. Martha plans to remain in Kenya after receiving a degree in Nursing to work in one of the local hospitals.

Thank you for your donations and investment in Martha’s education! Special thanks go to Crossroads Campus Ministry for supporting 6 months of tuition!

Susan is 15 years old and has been an orphan since she was in grade 5, when her single mother passed away. Susan ended up in Gerzim Primary school and orphanage. She performed well in primary school, but was unable to continue onto secondary school as she had no other known family members to support the cost of education.

In her letter to LittleDrops Orphanage Fund she stated “I have been learning by the help of well wishers. I do not know my fortune as I wait to join high school next year. I request any well wishers to help me get funds for my education.” Your generous support has allowed Susan to continue her education this year!

Thank you all so much for your support of Susan’s continued education!

Moses is 15 years old and has been orphaned since 2003 when both his parents passed away. Moses is living with his grandparents and attends Gerezim primary school and orphanage in Kenya. He performed well in his KCPE (Secondary school entrance exam) but because his grandparents cannot support his continued education he was planning to learn a trade and join the work force. Due to your generous donations Megan (a year of tuition) and Felix (a school uniform), Moses will be able to attend his first year of secondary school and continue towards his dream of becoming a judge and helping other disadvantaged people.

Thank you Megan and Felix for supporting Moses’ education!
