Rachel is a precious seven year old who lives with her parents, six sisters, and five brothers In the village of Cargo near Galette Chambon. She and her twin sister go to BGM Primary school. Both are in great need of a sponsor because they are behind in school and they need to be able to try to catch up. Neither of her parents are in good health and they try to work as farmers, but it is not easy. They do not make enough to support such a large family. Her father lost a foot due to sepsis and cannot farm like he used to. We have allowed Rachel and her sister to go to school this year, but in order to continue, they must find sponsors. They are happy to be able to go to school, but if they do not find sponsors, they may not be able to continue. Her twin sister, Shelda, recently found a sponsor, and Rachel is praying every day that one day she will find one too. Rachel enjoys working around the house and her favorite subject is mathematics. When she grows up, she wants to learn how to speak French because that is the language that the educated people speak.

**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.
