Once destined to a life of disease, hunger and begging, these 118 students are beginning to see hope.
While many still have to beg for food along the highway each morning, with the burden of family provider on their shoulders, the highlight of their day is running through the doors of Sweet Savour's new school where they are learning math, science, language arts, history, dance, and art every afternoon. In addition to classes taught by trained teachers, they are given the gift of clean bathrooms, school supplies, and with your help, we hope to provide daily meals while they are under our care.
