Christine’s mother dropped her at her grandmother’s place and disappeared for more than a year now. Christine’s grandmother, who is now her guardian, doesn’t know about the whereabouts of her father either.

Christine’s grandmother has high blood pressure among other ailments and is not in good health. She is currently the only caretaker and guardian for Christine and her sister. Although she does what she can for these two girls, it is impossible for her to provide for their basic needs and also send them to school.

Christine is in need of boarding school if she is to have anything close to a decent future. She is a very bright and social girl, who loves to play with other kids especially on the swings. Her previous teachers tell us that she used to imitate them by trying to give lessons either to herself or her fellow children. Christine still dreams of becoming a teacher in the future if she gets the opportunity of an education.

To help Christine go to boarding school, she will need $90/month from one sponsor, or $45/month from two sponsors.
