Birthday: December 22, 2020 Sponsorship #: 2025-00-168S
Dorlens is the younger brother of Josue, another student currently seeking sponsorship. Their parents work as sharecroppers on a large local farm, a grueling job that barely provides enough to feed their six children. With the rising cost of food and the increasing dangers of travel to the local market, the family’s income has been severely depleted. Dorlens and his brother face the very real threat of having to drop out of school because their parents can no longer afford the tuition and supplies for multiple children.
Dorlens is a responsible and industrious five-year-old who takes great pride in helping his family. Whether he is taking the family goats out to find food and water or working alongside his parents in the garden, he is always eager to contribute. These chores are vital to his family’s survival.
At five years old, Dorlens is a vibrant student in the K2 class. In the classroom, Dorlens is a creative and focused student. He loves to color and is filled with excitement as he prepares to learn how to read in school. He is inspired by his older brothers and has already set a big goal for his future: he wants to grow up to be an engineer.
He is at a critical age where he is building the social and academic foundations he will need for the rest of his life. Having Dorlens in school doesn’t just help him; it provides his parents with the peace of mind that their son is in a safe, nurturing environment while they work long hours in the fields. Without sponsorship, Dorlens and his brother Josue are at risk of having to drop out.
