Birthday: February 25, 2019 Sponsorship #: 2024-00-063S  

Smith is a precious little five year old who lives in the village of Galette Chambon with his parents and his brother. His parents have tried to run a small market out of their home with canned goods and pasta and other non-perishables but it has been very hard. First, they run the risk of being robbed, so they are not able to keep a whole lot of goods in their home. Second, it is difficult and dangerous to go into town to try to replenish their supplies. They barely make enough money to feed their family, much less pay for school. But they know how important it is for their children to go to school and they know that they will get a good meal there as well, so they desperately want Smith to get a sponsor so that he can go. Smith enjoys playing with his brother and friends. He is excited about learning mathematics because he loves to count. When he grows up, he wants to become either a doctor or a farmer.
