Joshua is a 16 year old that just started his first year of high school, the last of seven and the only one that’s gotten this far with school. Unlike the normal where a child starts school when they are around four or five years old, Joshua had a late start to school. He started attending school at the age of eleven after his mother chose to pick him from his paternal grandparents who weren’t able to afford school for him.
Joshua’s parents separated when he was very little as that’s why he ended up staying with the grandparents, his mother moved to town after separation and started a sowing business which fetches her less than 5 dollars a day.
Joshua usually tells us a story of how the only English he heard ever heard of was when he would be grazing near schools, he would peep and listen in for as long as the animals stayed still. Staying in school is very important for him as it’s something he has wanted all his life. Joshua would love to be an automobile mechanic. His favorite color is red and he loves to play football.
Choosing to sponsor this young man will be a blessing to him and his family
