Weʼve raised £380 to fulfil my 6th birthday wish of sponsoring a child's education.
- Funded on Tuesday, 6th December 2016
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
I don't need many things. When my parents asked me what I wanted this year for my birthday, I really couldn't think of anything.
Then I thought about how much I love learning and going to school. So it would make me really happy if I could help another child go to school too.
I told my parents I want to help a child in Kenya. I don't know why I chose Kenya, but it's what I really want. I want to help an orphan who doesn't have parents to help him/her go to school. I would like to give an orphan a future where he/she can read, write and learn things so that they work, have food, have a home and live for a long time.
I put a target of £240 because it will help me sponsor a child for one or two years (depending on the charity). But if I raise more, I could sponsor that child for even longer, and help with other things he/she might need. That would be great!
Right now, I think I will sponsor at child at Destiny Garden School: http://www.destinygardenschool.org. The school isn't listed on JustGiving, which is why I have to crowdfund instead of the normal fundraising.
Please don't feel the need to give me a present that I need to unwrap. Instead, I hope you will help me make a friend in Kenya.
Big hugs,
Valerio

8 years agoHi everyone, I never got around to letting you all know about my new friend at Destiny Garden School. Joshua is eight years old. He's not an orphan, but his mum only gets occasional work as a labourer, so she has a lot of difficulty making ends meet. He also has a little sister, just like me! I am really excited that I have committed to sponsoring Joshua so that he can finish his matriculation at Destiny Garden School for the next few years. Thank you all for making it possible for me to do this. It's the best present ever. Valerio
