I talked a little before about Dreams Taking Flight but I wanted to give you a little picture into the potential that this program has. When these boys go to work they are not just earning a little extra spedning money, they are providing for their families.
One boy has a family including his mom, 3 siblings, an aunt and 2 cousins all living together. He has asked me to ask his employer if he can stay working with them when school starts. He will be in 10th grade and go to school from 6pm-10pm. He will work from 7:30am until 5:00pm to help put food on the table. For him, it costs about $12USD a week for transport and lunch.
Another boy now lives with his grandmother and feeds and clothes her. His cost per week is more because he lives further out in the bush - about $15USD a week. I could go on and on, but this is just a little example of how important this program is. To help break the poverty level of one boy of this generation, is such an answer to the call of God!
I now have 15 boys looking for work. Pray God opens more doors for employment!
If you would like to make a donation to off set the travel expense for one of the boys it would be such a blessing and an encouragement to these boys. If you would like to make a donation click here and in the designation box put "Dreams Taking Flight."
