Help to Grow

14 July

Before the sports day I went with D&D on an interesting trip to meet some children that the charity sponsors this morning. It is managed through an existing church organization which is very well organized, and appears to assess the claims of needy children and their families carefully before giving them support to help with their education, and in some cases, their health.


A great example is Merrenage Fernando, a boy who could not afford the drugs to help wih his growth hormone deficiency, but which was funded through the Friends of Della and Don along with a contribution to his education. Check out these photos of how he was a few years ago, and then the photo of him today. He no longer needs the drugs and has just got 7 As and a B in his O Levels.
