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.

Abdi Tofik 65,4
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 :)
