The parents of these children are separated, so they live with their grandparents. Grandfather is handicapped and cannot work and grandmother has rheumatoid arthritis and is unable to walk.
They live in abject poverty in a small, airless concrete room with corrugated metal roofing and door. When we first met them they were sleeping on a raised wooden platform covered with linoleum, with mosquito nets,. Father sends 2,000B – 3,000 B per month, as he is able. The girls were sometimes given leftover food from school – if there was any.
Now, thanks to the generosity of their sponsor new bedding has been bought for the girls and they are now on our monthly food drop program and the cost of their schooling is also met by their sponsor. Today Suky from MERCY took the two girls shopping for their birthdays with money generously sent to us by the girls sponsor.

It will not matter how big your bank account was, the sort of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove. But the world may be a little better because your help touched the life of one child.
