One of our favorite little artists, Antony, has dropped out
of school. According to his teacher, Penelope, his father died sometime ago
and his mother died last month after a long illness. After his mother’s death, someone took Antony
to a relative’s home then brought him back to Kasompe to live with someone
else. Now he’s waiting for an Auntie to
come pick him up and take him home to live with her several miles away. In the meantime, he has dropped out of school
and is wandering aimlessly around the neighborhood. His teacher is very concerned about him. Antony started in our school at its very beginning and was one of the most eager students.
We took this picture of Antony and his
beautiful smile last year – before his life was turned upside down. He’s one of our featured bicycle artists on
our note cards. He dreamed of being a
pilot someday….
