Coming Back to Life

Do these smiling children look familiar?
Mary, Mwanza, Manase and Lovemore (not pictured: Clever).

Some of you may remember them from a couple of posts in last year’s blog. My colleagues, Gretchen and Scott, and I met them while we were in Zambia, Africa, last spring. Since their parents died a few years ago, the children have lived alone, fending for themselves any way they could. You can read about our visit in the following posts from our old blog:

A Fighting Chance
What It Means To Be Alone

Clementina, our Communications Coordinator in Lusaka, snapped their picture recently at one of our community centers. She reports that they are happy and well, and…all of them are now in school! A few months ago this would truly have been an impossible dream.
One year ago...

So a great big “thank-you” to all their sponsors. In the span of one short year you have made an incredible difference in these children’s lives!

What a difference a year has made in the lives of these children due to the support of C.I. staff and dedicated sponsors.
