Birthday: August 1, 2002 Sponsorship #: 2018-00-075M

Andson is a bright and friendly 24 year old from the village of Plasman near Galette Chambon. He lives with his mother, father, and three sisters. Two of his sisters are sponsored already. His mother is a vendor in the village and his father is a farmer. It makes him sad to see his father work so hard in the sun every day and get very back from his work because the dirt is so dry. Andson says this is why he has decided that he wants to go as far in school as he can so that one day he can support his parents the way they have supported him. Andson loves to study his lessons in school, and his favorite subject in school is French. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up. When he is not in school, he loves to help his father in the garden because they get to spend time together. He is afraid that one day his father is going to work so hard in the heat that it kills him. He says he worries about that all the time. He says that if he gets a sponsor, he promises to work really hard in school and one day make his family and village

**THIS WAS THE PROFILE FOR ANDSON BACK IN 2018 WHEN HE FIRST GOT A SPONSOR. IN 2021, HE HAD TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL BECAUSE HIS FATHER DECIDED TO MOVE THE FAMILY FROM THE VILLAGE TO FIND BETTER WORK. OVER THE PAST 8 YEARS, ANDSON HAS HAD TO SIT OUT OF SCHOOL. HE HAS CONTINUED TO STUDY,  HOWEVER, AND NOW THAT HIS FAMILY HAS MOVED BACK TO THE VILLAGE, HE IS READY TO START BACK TO SCHOOL. IN SPITE OF HIS ADVANCED AGE, ANDSON IS DETERMINED TO FINISH. WHEN HE TOOK HIS PLACEMENT EXAM, HE TESTED HIGH ENOUGH TO ENTER THE 11TH GRADE, SO HE ONLY HAS TWO MORE YEARS TO GO!
