Waiting Children

Bethlehem Bruke: Grade 2

Bethlehem is a 2nd grader at HMCHA School. Her younger sister
hasn’t started school yet. Her father earns about $5 / month as a day
laborer. It’s very difficult to feed his family; prices have sky-rocketed
in the last few years. They often skip meals for a whole day, or eat
one time a day.

Tokuma Teshome: Kindergarten

is in Kindergarten and loves going to HMCHA School. His family of 6 lives on about $7 a month. His Dad is a day laborer and his step-mother sells cultural drinks that she makes a home. He would love tohave a sponsor!

Gelane Ayano: Grade 2

is a bubbly 2nd grader at the HMCHA School. Since her family has no land to plant crops, her father works as a day laborer to be able to feed their family of 4. He can earn about $5 a month so they often go hungry.
