Kellin A.

Birthday: August 10, 2003 Sponsorship #: 2017-00-125M

Kellin is a bright fourteen year old from the village of Galette Chambon. He lives with his mother who is disabled. Kellin doesn’t have any siblings. Five years ago, his mother cut her hand really bad with a machete in the garden and soon she developed an infection that was so bad that she had to have her hand removed. After this happened, Kellin decided to sit out of school so he could help his mother recover and learn to adjust to not having her hand. She still tries to work as a farmer and sells the produce she grows, but it is very difficult for her. Kellin gets up very early every morning and goes to the well to draw water for his mother and then he cooks breakfast for them. Then he goes to the garden and helps his mother harvest any produce she can sell at market. For now, he also helps her take the produce to market to sell, but if he gets a sponsor and starts going to school in the afternoons, he won’t be able to go to market with her. He asked his aunt if she would help his mother at market if he starts back to school and she said that she would. In his free time, Kellin enjoys playing soccer, going to an English class in his village, eating, sleeping, and studying math. When he grows up, he wants to become a doctor.

**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.
