Put Back the Smiles

Penlope (green skirt) helping Sherri tell a story

One of our teachers, Penelope, in Kasompe has observed big changes in some of her pupils since they've been coming to school.  She's been especially impressed with 12-year-old Helen who in the 4th grade.  Helen lives with her grandparents and 5 siblings in a two-room house.  Her father and mother both passed away leaving 6 children for the grandparents to care for.  The children were not attending school until Penelope talked to the grandparents and told them about the Kasompe School of Peace.  Penelope says that things are so much easier for the family now that the children receive a nutritious meal each day at school and a free education.  She adds,  "HealthEd Connect, you have put back the smiles into the orphans and vulnerables in our community.  Please!  We still need your support....we love you!"
