Walson O.

Birthday: July 29, 2012 Sponsorship #: 2018-00-060JHC

Walson is a loving and gentle twelve year old from the village of Cargo-Gwo Balanse near Galette Chambon. He lives with his mom, dad, sister, and brother. His parents work in the local garden as share croppers. They have been able to afford Walson’s school in the past, but now that his two siblings are old enough to go to school, they cannot afford all three. Walson LOVES school, and he is so afraid that he may not be able to continue because his parents may have to make the children take turns going to school. He would love to have a sponsor so that he doesn’t have to worry about whether or not he can go. His favorite subject is French, and when is not in school, he loves to work in the garden with his parents. When he grows up, he wants to be a farmer just like his dad.

**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.
