Godlisten

Last week we hosted a clinic, here at FAME, for children with disabilities.

I met a young man named Godlisten.

Godlisten has graduated from primary school and scored well enough on the National Exam to attend a local secondary school.

Godlisten suffers from paralysis of the legs, most likely caused by meningitis as a younger child. His secondary school is further away that his primary school was and is unable to find reliable transport (via bike or taxi) and has missed a lot of school so far because of that.

Both of Godlisten's parents died of AIDS and he now resides with neighbors.

What Godlisten needs is a special wheel chair (available locally here in Tanzania) in order to get to and from school. This wheel chair only costs $350.

If everyone who reads this blog donated a small amount, just a few dollars, we would have the funds for this wheel chair.

Please help Godlisten by donating. Go to http://www.africanorphanfund.org/ and click on the Network for Good link!
