Taonga - Student
I passed my grade 9 exams to grade 10 and we had a balance to pay to the school. As a family we struggled trying to find money to clear the balance. We looked for piece work and we managed to pay the balance. It was difficult for me to start school in grade 10 because we didn’t have the money to pay for school fees and other school requirements. My brother-in-law went looking for help from Social Welfare and we were given an application form to fill in. When I was to start school in grade 10 we only had half of the required amount and because of this the school management said I can’t attend school. Then Wings of Hope called us and gave me a sponsorship and finally my school fees were paid. Now I am happy and I am in school free to learn without being chased to go home for not paying school fees.
