Class 2

lives with his uncle, visits Fruitful since February 2016
year of birth: 2008
best subject: mathematics
dream job: doctor
character traits:
background: Jusuphs mother became pregnant when she was in class 7. She worried about the reaction of her parents to her pregnancy, so she decided to rather run away than to tell them. During the lonely birth she lost a lot of blood and passed away. A neighbour found Jusuph crying, wrapped in a blanket. He asked a lot of people until he found the family of Jusuphs mother and luckily a brother took him as his son, so Jusuph grew up living at his uncles house.
Finally our big boy found a sponsor and joined Blue Sky School!

best subject: science
dream job: doctor
character traits:
background: Nancys father passed aways after her younger brother was born. Her mother married a new man in 2015, but he refused to take care of her children. She asked her brother for help, who already has 6 children on his own, but he agreed. He is trying hard but is only able to send two of his kids to school, so he asked us if we can take Nancy and her younger brother Wisdom (who visits our Baby Class) to Fruitful. Additionally his room is not big enough for 8 children and he can't feed them all. Unfortunately we are also struggling with space and we are only able to offer them our lessons. As soon as we have more room, we will take them to Fruitful.
Nancys dream is to help people, that is why she wants to become a doctor one day.
