MAKAILE and AMULIAT

Those two sweethearts are waiting for a long-distance parent. They are both orphans, not related.

In blue shirt, we have Makaile, he is a one-year-old boy, an absolutely adorable child.

The one who does not want to look at the camera is Amuliat. Very beautiful names, no? Amuliat is a girl and she is around 3 years old.

Makaile and Amuliat would also benefit from one-time donations. Food would be bought for them. Donations can be sent as usual to:

Take Care of a Child from Africa!

Did you ever want to take care of a child from Africa?

Why from Africa?

Because the poverty in some African countries is beyond imagination, and because by taking care of an African child – not only do you accomplish an act of incredible kindness, but also because you literally save a life. And not everyone can say they saved a life. But you can.

Our method consists in pairing a child (in vulnerable position) to a person willing to help (you), so that you can grow and develop a beautiful relationship together, and so that you can see the progress and the change you make.

We aim to establish a good communication between you and the child (if the child has reached verbal skills; if not, we will slowly educate the child together, towards talking); you will take care of your child just as you would do with your own child at home. You will be a long-distance parent!

Financially, children need 20-30 euros / month – includes a lot of food that lasts for a whole month. You will receive photos with everything that is being bought.

Funds can be easily sent via PayPal, bank transfer and even Revolut (if you have a bit of patience with this app which lately has become difficult) – I will be here to guide you, whatever you choose.

Send an email at contact@helponechildthrive.com

Whenever you feel ready, we can begin😊

The experience is beautiful and rewarding beyond words.

HOCT SCHOOL – WE NEED WINDOWS

Dearest friends, as you know, we have greatly advanced with the construction of the HOCT school – it is almost ready! The walls are good and solid, the roof is in place.

We need to buy 21 windows, which are a bit expensive – 100 euros each. I am trying not to get overwhelmed by this and buy each window at a turn, to the best of our possibilities.

Consider helping HOCT Help One Child Thrive finish the school! Any little bit donated will be used towards the purchase of windows – this is our remaining objective for this year.

The windows are really nice and beautiful, with metallic structures – which is why they are so expensive. I’ll get the doors myself.

Mondays Are Perfect

It is a little bit cold today, and it is absolutely Monday – I think you all agree with me on this one – it is so Monday, that I need three more cups of coffee, but I am so happy to see the beautiful children who have come to take their food from our office.

How patiently they wait, how well behaved they are! Ho strongly they believe in our love! I would do anything for them. For more than 4 years, I haven’t taken a single day off from HOCT, I have been here at any hour of the day and of the night, for the children, together with my beautiful colleagues and those who sometimes help me.

I would like to think that HOCT is just as addictive for you as it is for me, because I cannot imagine one single day of my life without it.

It is close to 8 PM, we are still distributing food and I am still writing reports. My beloved Teacher, Geshe Sonam, was telling me this morning that I should sleep more – the sleepless night was very probably shining through my make-up 🤣 to which I told him…. when? Because there is so much to do and all of it is so well-worth the effort.

Shoutout to the beautiful souls Gabby and Maria, for their love and dedication towards the smallest girl at HOCT – Haula ❤ too much cuteness overload!

Hard Work Always Pays Off

I am so happy and content today…

One of our children, a little boy called Kabodhe Abdu Rahuman, has scored the highest marks in Idudi for T2 / 2024. This is a boy that has been abandoned by two sponsors and for whom my lovely Nina has been paying school fees because she is exceptionally kind and she believes in children…

So we have vowed that the child who gets the highest score, each trimester, receives a bicycle as a gift from HOCT (Mugoya and myself are paying for it).

Today, my colleague went to the school and spoke to the children, giving them courage and a newly-found motivation to study very hard. And in front of all the assembly, this sweetheart Kabodhe has received his bicycle.

HOCT is a good place. When you take a little step to help a child, we take 5 more alongside with you. We work together; we build together; come and help a child, because I promise you: the results are wow.

You don’t only help a child. You help this world become a wholesome place, a clean place, a good place.

How Come It Is Already Wednesday?

After being away from home (and from my tables), it has been crazy to catch up with everything – well finally I managed! Phew. All tables are updated and most of the work has been caught up with.

In the village where we unfold our activity, we are currently experiencing very bad weather, which impedes our activities a little bit.

Despite everything, we work with love and gratitude.

30 children received food and clothes. It’s a good day of our lives.
