Joel A.

Birthday: November 9, 2007 Sponsorship #: 2021-00-001S

Joel Is a fourteen year old from the village of Galette Chambon. He lives with his mother, two brothers and one sister. His father was a mechanic, but he died two years ago and left the family with no source of income. The mother tries to make a little money by cleaning houses or washing clothes for people, but she rarely makes enough to even feed her children much less pay for school. She is thankful that her other children are sponsored, but it would help a lot if Joel was sponsored too. Joel’s favorite subject in school is mathematics and when he is not in school he enjoys studying and helping his mother by going to get water from the well. When he grows up he wants to become a doctor.

**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.
