Adanu

This darling little girl is named Adanu Tofic.

I recently became the proud sponsor of this child. After waiting for nearly 2 months, I finally received her file on Friday.

She is 6 years old, has 2 sisters and 1 brother. Her mother is the sole provider for this family as her father recently passed away from lung problems. Her mother does not have steady income, but cuts grass occasionally with a machete or sometimes sweeps the streets.

Adanu was fortunate enough to get into a sponsorship program and has been accepted into the Kid's Hope Centre run by "Canadian Humanitarian Organization for International Relief" in a semi-rural part of Addis Ababa. She will be starting school (kindergarten) this fall and will have schooling provided for her until she is 16.

Sponsoring a child seems such a small thing in our land of plenty, but what it gives a child and their family in a country such as Ethiopia is enormous.
