STECHA is a precious three year old in our K1 program at BGM Preschool. She lives with her parents and brother and sister in the village of Galette Chambon. Dabens (also on the sponsorship list) is her big brother. Her parents are farmers who work long, hot days in the field trying to gather enough produce to sell at a local market when it is safe enough to go. There are many weeks when the produce sits in buckets or on sheets laid out on the ground and rot because they can’t get to market. It’s during these times that they can try to eat some of the produce so that it doesn’t go to waste and their bellies can be filled. It’s great that they have this option, but it doesn’t provide money to pay for other necessities like school tuition. They were able to save up enough money to start Stecha in school, but now they are behind on finishing her tuition for the year and don’t know how they will pay for next year. They know that God will provide, but they are praying that he will provide with a sponsor so that they won’t have to worry about whether or not they will be able to save enough to make the next payment. Stecha says he enjoys helping her parents work around the house, eating, and going to church and making up poetry. She might become a great poet one day, but for a career, she wants to become a nurse because she has watched in awe as her cousin has gone on and graduated from BGM High School and is now about to become a nurse – all because God made a way through the BGM Sponsorship program.
