Shadrack Ochien  (Grade: 6)

Shadrack lives with his mother. His father has died a few years ago. He helps his mother at home grow a few crops around the house for food and his mother sometimes can find work hand washing other people’s clothes. She earns less than a dollar a day and it is certainly not enough to pay for Shadrack’s education. Unless someone steps in to sponsor him to board at the Joy School then he will be tied to his poverty. He is a very bright young boy but lives in extreme poverty. He still posses a joyful spark for life but poverty will consume any hope he has for the future. Please join with us to help Shadrack build his future and return to rescue his family. Thank you!
