We have just witnessed the excitement of the happiest people in Arusha at the moment! Our new students, starting at St Jude’s in January, received their first set of brand new St Jude’s uniforms! This is always the most joyful day in the school calendar as the gift of these uniforms signifies the start to a new life path for so many young Tanzanians and their families.
You can’t help but smile and your eyes well up when you watch this video – the pure elation on the faces of the families who can see a brighter future is something we all want for everyone on this planet.
With the free, quality education these children will be receiving, they will have the opportunity to escape the poverty cycle into which they were born and become skilled and professional members of the workforce. Their parents who struggle to earn $2 a day are thrilled that one of their children will reach his or her full potential and go on to live a rich and rewarding life while helping other members of the family as well.
We are so grateful that our supporters are doing their part here in Tanzania. However, our students still need 67 new sponsors. We would love to hear from anyone who is prepared to ensure one more child and his or her family will have a future filled with possibilities.
