\"\"<\/a>JIMMY NGOMELA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jimmy on 4-vuotias poika, jonka vanhemmat hylk\u00e4siv\u00e4t vain kahden kuukauden ik\u00e4isen\u00e4, ja joka on asunut iso\u00e4itins\u00e4 luona.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jimmy liittyi Divine Hope -kouluun vuonna 2018. Saimme pyynn\u00f6n Jimmyn \u00e4idin \u00e4idilt\u00e4, \u200b\u200bjoka kertoi meille, kuinka h\u00e4net hyl\u00e4ttiin kahden kuukauden ik\u00e4isen\u00e4. H\u00e4n voisi osaamisensa puolesta jo aloittaa peruskouluun, mutta h\u00e4n on viel\u00e4 siihen liian nuori. H\u00e4n aloittaa todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti peruskoulun ensi vuonna 2022.<\/p>\n

H\u00e4nen iso\u00e4itins\u00e4 otti Jimmyn hoiviinsa vanhempien hyl\u00e4tty\u00e4 h\u00e4net. Vuonna 2018 iso\u00e4iti pyysi minua ottamaan Jimmyn oppilaaksemme esikouluumme. Jimmy aloitti koulumme h\u00e4nen viel\u00e4 asuessaan iso\u00e4itins\u00e4 luona, mutta kun iso\u00e4idin talon sortui, iso\u00e4iti p\u00e4\u00e4tti palata vanhaan kyl\u00e4\u00e4ns\u00e4 ja pyysi minua j\u00e4\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n lapsen luo, jotta h\u00e4n voisi jatkaa opintojaan. Jimmy tarvitsee todellakin tukeamme opintojensa rahoittamiseksi esikoulusta yliopistoon, jotta h\u00e4n voi olla avuksi iso\u00e4idilleen ja todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti vanhemmilleen jonain p\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Koska h\u00e4n oli perheens\u00e4 esikoinen ja h\u00e4net hyl\u00e4ttiin varhaisessa vaiheessa vuonna 2016, emme ole koskaan tavanneet vanhempia, joten on vaikea tiet\u00e4\u00e4 h\u00e4nen sisaruksistaan. Iso\u00e4idill\u00e4, joka asui h\u00e4nen luonaan, ei my\u00f6sk\u00e4\u00e4n ole lainkaan ty\u00f6t\u00e4; h\u00e4n on riippuvainen siit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 h\u00e4n kaivaa ihmisten shamboissa ansaitakseen elantonsa.<\/p>\n

Iso\u00e4iti asui kaukana koulusta, mutta h\u00e4n toi Jimmyn joka p\u00e4iv\u00e4 kouluun. Vanhalla naisella ei ollut varaa vied\u00e4 lasta kouluun sadekausina. Toivon, ett\u00e4 voisimme jonain p\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4 saada koulubussin auttamaan poimimaan lapset kodeistaan \u200b\u200bkouluun, jottei heid\u00e4n tarvitsisi kulkea mailien mittaisia matkoja sateessa. T\u00e4m\u00e4 on kaikkien lastemme suurin haaste, ja taloudellisten rajoitteiden vuoksi meill\u00e4 ei ole t\u00e4ll\u00e4 hetkell\u00e4 muuta vaihtoehtoa, mutta toivomme, ett\u00e4 jonain p\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4 saamme t\u00e4m\u00e4n ratkaistua.<\/p>\n

Koulussa annoimme Jimmylle kaksi paria univormuja, lenkkipuvun, kaksi paria villapaitoja, kenk\u00e4parin, lyijykyn\u00e4t, harjoituskirjat ja laukun opintojen aloittamiseksi. Tarjoamme h\u00e4nelle my\u00f6s terveydenhoidollista apua sek\u00e4 aamiaisen ja lounaan joka p\u00e4iv\u00e4. Ennen kuin Jimmy aloitti koulunsa, h\u00e4n oli aina sairas aliravitsemuksen vuoksi ilman toivoa aterioista tai kouluun menemisest\u00e4, ilman toivoa valoisammasta tulevaisuudesta.<\/p>\n

”Rakastan pelata jalkapalloa ja matematiikkaa”, sanoo Jimmy.<\/p>\n

Alkuper\u00e4inen teksti<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jimmy is a 4 years old boy who was abandoned by both of his parents when only two months old and has been staying with his maternal grandmother.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jimmy joined Divine Hope School in 2018. To admit him we received the request from her maternal grandmother who narrated to us how he was abandoned when two months old. He is capable to join Primary School but his age requirement is not yet filled. He will probably join Primary School next year in 2022.<\/p>\n

He was taken by the maternal grandmother who stayed with him. In 2018 she asked me to allow him begin his studies in our pre-school. We gave the boy a chance as he was living with his grandmother but when her house fell down she decided to go back to their village and asked me to stay with the kid to allow him continue with his studies. He really needs our support to fund his studies right from pre-school to University so that he can be of great help to her grandmother and probably to his parents one day.<\/p>\n

Since he was the first born in his family and he was abandoned at an early stage in 2016, the parents have never been spotted, so it is hard to know more about his siblings. The grandmother who used to stay with him also has no job at all; she depends on doing digging for people in their shambas to earn a living.<\/p>\n

The grandmother lives far from the school, but she used to bring Jimmy every day to school. The old woman could only not afford to bring the kid to school during rainy seasons. I wish we could one day have a school van to help in picking the kids from their homes to school to address the challenge of them walking miles away and being rained on at times. This is the biggest challenge for all our kids, and due to financial constraints we have no choice at the moment but hoping that one day our challenge will be no more.<\/p>\n

At the school we gave Jimmy two pairs of uniforms, a track suit, two pairs of sweaters, a pair of shoes, pencils, exercise books and a bag to begin his studies. We also provide him with medical help, breakfast and lunch every day. Before Jimmy began his school he was always sick due to malnutrition with no hope of meals or going to school, and no hope for a brighter future.<\/p>\n
