A humongous thank you to Brook and Troy Allison and Ombretta Fiumana, who now sponsor Neema Ramadhani and Magdalena Emmanueli respectively. We cannot thank you enough for the difference you’re making in the lives of these children, who can now attend private schools. Your dedication, patience and generosity means the world to them and to us!
Ombretta and Magdalena
