I have been home now from Tanzania just over three months. While the time I spent in Africa exists in my mind like an untouchable time capsule, my love for the children and the country grows stronger every day, driving me to focus on the changing the bad that I saw by expanding on all of the good that I found at Cheti.
Upon returning home, we have been preparing, planning and organizing and now... I need your help spreading the word.
I would like to introduce to you our organization: Cheti Sponsorship Program.
Cheti Sponsorship Program is determined to providing opportunity to the vulnerable children in need in Tanzania through education and supporting better health and well-being.
I would also like to introduce to you Mwanaidi Shabani. She is 5 years old. Her parents have both died of HIV in the past year and she currently resides with her abusive aunt. After weeks of working with her in the classroom, listening to her constant aches of pain from both sickness and beatings, we took her to get tested. She too, is HIV positive. At home no one feeds her, no one cares. At Cheti, she is loved, she is fed and she smiles. She has since found a sponsor; someone who is committed to her and her chance at a future.
They say a smile is the only language we can all understand. At Cheti School, smiles are all around as they represent the hope and opportunity the students feel and receive through their education.
Thus far, we have 23 Cheti Students sponsored. But there are more students who need sponsors. There are more books that need to be read, more desks to be used, and more uniforms to be worn. Cheti has classrooms with no roofs, students with no food, and orphans with no hope.
Help us help Cheti and create opportunity for a better tomorrow in Arusha, Tanzania.
