I'd like you to meet on of the children who we have selected to receive a scholarship. This young student needs your help to stay in school. I wanted you to see education through the eyes of an orphan. Take a moment to read this short testimony, and consider how you can support a student in Swaziland with a gift of $25 to the Scared Education Fund.
ALL MY DREAMS WERE SHATTERED...A Swazi Orphan Memoir
I am the firstborn in my family. All things changed when I was about to finish first year in high school, this is when my parents died and I felt like I no longer deserved to live. I thought that all my dreams were shattered.
I had to stay home for some years in shortage of school fees. Just because I was no more attending school I joined a crew of boys who were not learned and some were always creating disorder around them. They were stealing and doing a lot of bad things, which they took it as some kind of sport. I then also became addicted to it.
I was behaving like an animal, and I would not take any advice. I thought that where I was life ends. I don’t know what happened to my life but I remember the day when I left my friends and they thought I was joking. I never went back. I change my life ad I tried to create order in my life and do good things. I prayed to God for protection to God, who later provided me with everything I needed.
I am now back in school doing form three. When I am old I will not like my life experiences. When I was young I wanted to have everything I needed and I loved God with all my heart and I will stick with him because he is the master planner. I know and I trust him because he brought me up this far and I know he will never leave me. I want to help children who are like me, I will be their source of life.
