Rachel needs sponsored soon in order to continue her school year:

Afya Rachel is an orphan having no father and mother. She comes to the hostel late after one month due to lack of what to use and some contribution. The caregiver died three week ago and now she has no hope again of continuing with her education.

 When I talked to her she told me that she has spent two months without soap.

 She may not make it to end of term exams due to the credit at school of which she has not yet paid. She needs items such as reams of papers, a uniform and books. To get them is a big problem.

 I tried my best to comfort her after shedding tears and even left for sleeping due to stresses.

 The only thing I told her was, Life will be okay, hope is the best.

 People in the world can care, but if they dont, then God cant fail. Amani Jean Paul
