Hello, my name is Bright. Child Sponsorship through African Vision of Hope would really change my life.
I live in village of Chishiko and attend school at African Vision of Hope in Chongwe, Zambia. I am a 18 year old boy in grade 7. My birthday is October 23rd. My favorite subject in school is studying English and I enjoy Football / Soccer. I would really love to have you as my sponsor, your encouragement through letters and prayers would help me very much.

As Bright’s Sponsor

This will help his get to know you and your family. A teacher or staff person will assist children who have yet to learn how to read and write.At home Bright’s duties include many household chores such as sweeeping, washing, and fetching water. He also has responsibilities in caring for his younger siblings and “extended” family. Bright really enjoys learning about English in school and in the limited free time he has, enjoys Football / Soccer.
Daily life for Bright and his friends is very difficult. The majority of his friends from Chishiko, his home, are not able to afford to go to public school and survive on a single small meal per day. This meal is primarily made of nshima – a staple that is made of ground corn flour boiled in water.
By being in school at African Vision of Hope Chongwe, Bright is not only having his mind “fed”, but he is benefiting from a nutritious meal each day he is in school. The majority of these children live with a single parent or relative. Others have been forced to live with whomever will take them in, and being forced to the streets by the age of 6 is not uncommon.
Bright and his friends not only have physical poverty but they a poverty that can’t be seen. They have lost hope and do not believe that their life matters or that they matter. This is why Child Sponsorship through African Vision of Hope is making a difference.African Vision of Hope takes the message of John 21:15 – 17 and puts it into action.
