When Live and Learn in Kenya International took her onto the program, Danny was a skinny little 6-year-old coming from a family of 6 children - 5 girls and one boy. Her parents sell vegetables on the streets of the Nakuru slums. Their poverty was obvious when visiting their home - but their wealth was always obvious by their cleanliness and sparkling smiles!
Danny's special talents showed from a very young age. She would sing and speak and give speeches with such confidence that it was hard to believe her origin. She always walked with her head held high. She knew that Live and Learn in Kenya International was providing her with the best possible education - and she proved herself worthy. Even as a young girl, Danny always had a smug smile on her face that told the world "I know where I'm going - and I'm going to do my best to get there"!
Danny always did her level best at school - and was rewarded with outstanding grades. After successfully graduating high school she went on to study at Maseno University and majoring in Arts and Social Science.
Last month Danny proudly graduated with a B average. Now, this lovely, strong, and intelligent young woman can stride into the future with everything that it takes to be a major success and pass her experiences on to many other young people - and to her own future children. We are proud of her!
THIS IS WHAT SPONSORSHIP IS ALL ABOUT - GIVING A NEEDY CHILD THE POSSIBILITY TO BE ALL THAT SHE/HE CAN BE!
Asante sana - thank you!
