Survived 2014/2015

Thanks to Clicksco's donation we survived one more school year 2014/2015. The school year 2015/2016 has started and we had to make a few decisions. The kids that did not present their report cards we taken out of the group, so we have now 17 kids (highlighted in the chart).  Let's hope these will be with us for the next years, until they graduate Inshallah !!!

We NEED your donation NOW !!

2015 started in a tough way... Beginning of January we received the news that the donation we expected was not coming. Camila,  our friend and supported set up a donation site Donate to Mekdela Kids Ethiopia  but we have not reached the amount we need to keep our 26 kids fed until the end of 2015 school year

So we are faced with the hard decision to downsize our group. We have money for one more month for all the kids, and after that we must make choices. How to choose the kids that will stay? By grades? By beauty? By level of poverty? How do we know we are not killing the chance of a bright future, if they could all surprise us with a bright future? 

If we go by grades these are the kids that would remain receiving U$25 a month to pay for their breakfast and lunch on weekdays at school.

All our kids come from very low or zero income families, and I know how much the lack of financial aid will impact in their hard lives. 

We need your help now. Please donate !! http://www.gofundme.com/k1ucg4

On the left, Isabel, our dear friend that hands the money to the kids, makes sure they are going to school. They meet at night, once a month and the parents come along. Our biggest dream is to send them to University. All of them :)

 They are all so big now.... When we first started they were small little kids...
