How I hate wet Sundays! ..... I can usually nag mum and Ian into a walk eventually but it takes quite a bit of persuasion on my behalf! So whilst I'm waiting I'll jut let you know a bit more about Jessica....
Jessica lives in Tanzania and has a dream of becoming a social worker to help the local children. Mum and Ian met Jessica and her Brother during their charity Building project with soapbox last summer. (www.soapboxtrust.com)
In Tanzania the cost of Secondary education is beyond most families. To enable her younger brother to attend secondary school Jessica had to leave her primary school and work on the roads.
Jessica says..
“My story is that when I finish my primary school my Parent have no enough money to send me to school and hence I employed to Road construction company it was a difficult to me as I am a girl but I decided to do that in order to help my young brother Johnson who have pass well his primary school examination and he need to join the secondary school hence I decided to continue working in order to help my brother.”
After her younger brother had completed his studies Jessica, by now 22 years old, paid for herself to go to secondary school by knitting jumpers in all her spare time. Jessica got the grades she needed to go to University to study social work; ONE of only a few girls in rural Tanzania to achieve this.
she needs our help to enable her to achieve her dream to others in her country.
Jessica finishes her email to mum..
“I am thanks allot for the Good promise you give which have incourage me to study hard untill i finish my Social course. i have nothing to pay back but always i am Praying to my Lord Jesus to Bless you and your work.”
When mum told me all this I understood why she and Ian want to help Jessica ... and I am part of that plan!!!
bye for now .... I really have to go out now rain or no rain!
