Stichting Help

November 2008

In November 2008, our financial help enabled Colegio Evangelico Asher to buy 27 chairs and one large table second-hand.

August 2008

This year’s school results of the pupils at the Colegio Evangelico Asher have been very good. Two new pupils, Luisa and Kenas who are both aged nine, have attended school for the first time in their lives this year. After being taught very intensively, they have both become fully literate in just one year. During the course of the coming school year, they will receive lessons together with other children of the same age, at the level appropriate to that age, i.e. the fourth class of primary school.

Message from Janet Williams, Sosúa Kids Org. about the children:

• "Jonatan's mother had abandoned him with his grandmother was doing her best to raise him. Not too long after this picture was taken the grandmother stepped on a nail and was dead a month later of the infection. Jonatan went to live with his aunt, Fredi. She and her husband were very poor but with them both working, she cleaning and he as a "motorcochito" (motorcycle taxi) they were getting by and raising their several children. Shortly after Jonatan joined them the husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. Two of Fredi's children were enrolled in the Sosúa Kids program joining their cousin Jonatan. Today Jonatan has finished school and is working. His place on the Sosúa kids list has been filled by Fredi's five year old grandchild that she is now raising.
  I want to mention at this time that having a parent killed or disabled in a motorcycle accident is not rare here, we have several children in Sosúa Kids who's father has been killed".
