Raheli is a 5-year-old girl at the Meserani Preschool in Arusha. Her favorite color is red and her favorite subject in school is Swahili. When she's at home, she likes to help her parents with housekeeping and other chores. Her favorite aspect of school is the daily meal she receives and the opportunity to study. Raheli hopes to become a nurse one day so she can help all the sick children in her community.

Happy is a 6-year-old girl in the first grade classroom. Her favorite color is black and like her fellow classmate, she enjoys learning Swahili. At home, she is in charge of keeping both the inside and the outside of their house tidy. Happy also wants to help others by becoming a doctor. What she likes most about her school are all the beautiful flowers planted on the grounds and around the playground.

These children are not unlike ours -- they play, laugh and dream. Please help them achieve their dreams by becoming a monthly donor today. Even the smallest gift will help these children reach their highest potential. Thank you for all your support!
