Christionor T.

Birthday: September 3, 2010 Sponsorship #: 2016-00-250S

Chrisyono is a spunky little six year old who lives in a village called Gros Balance near Galette Chambon with his mother, two sisters, and four brothers. Their father died when he was three and left them with no source of income. They sold what livestock they had to pay for their father’s funeral and then their mother began selling snacks as a vendor to try to raise a little money. It is not enough to support a family though. Chrisyono’s brothers all had to stop going to school after their father died because they could not afford it. Chrisyono has never been able to go to school because his father died just about the time he was to start school. Now that BGM has a school sponsorship program, Chrisyono is hoping that he and his brothers can find sponsors and continue going to school every day. He is most excited about the fact that they will get a meal every day at school because there are many days when his mother does not have any food for them to eat. In his free time Chrisyono enjoys playing with his friends and when he grows up he wants to become a pastor.

**Please note that each year, we depend on village volunteers whose understanding of the measuring process may create variations in accuracy. Often times, children do not know their age or birthday, and sometimes they measure smaller or larger because of illness. We do the best we can to give accurate updates, but there are cultural constraints that we cannot avoid. Also, these measurements were made in March of 2022. The child may or may not have promoted to the next grade by the 2022-2023 school year. Final exams had not been taken when the update was made. You can assume that the child will move on to the next grade up, but it is not guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
