Reason for GAP

Yesterday while visiting homes in Kasompe, we bumped into Rachael along the path.  She's 14 years old and dropped out of school in grade 4.  She now has total responsibility for the 2 babies she's carrying.  We asked if she'd  like to come back to school and she said, "Yes, tomorrow!"  The problem is she has no one to watch the children.  If only the Girl's Achievement Program (GAP) had been organized earlier to keep her in school.  We now have over 60 girls attending GAP each week so hopefully we will reduce the Rachael ' s in the communities.  For $10 a week we can provide a great GAP program for 5th, 6th and 7th graders.  For $200 a year we can provide a scholarship to send a girl on to highschool.  you can help by going to www.healthedconnect.org and donating now.
