Dear Sponsor,
I am Stephen E. N., Project Director of All Saints Anglican Student Centre of the All Saints Anglican Cathedral Church in the Mpwapwa district, Dodoma region, Tanzania. We help your sponsored child.
I have a great pleasure to thank you for your sponsorship and support for your child.
The sponsorship program assures children of getting access to basic services like school, health care, and physical and social benefits. Every week the sponsored children learn different age-appropriate lessons from the curriculum in the spiritual, physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional areas. We also have other programs like tutorial classes, sports and games, and choir.
Children see the center as the place to run to and learn different things for their lives. The center helps them with school fees, medication, and other support the children couldn’t get on their own. We also teach them different skills for the betterment of their lives.
One of our children is showing spiritual maturity; she can teach the little children on Sundays; she also is participating in weekly fellowships at our church. Another child is learning tailoring skills, and she is doing good with her knowledge, because she is able to make clothes and repair the worn-out clothes of people in the surrounding area.
Two boys of our center are in the big football team owned by our church. Currently they are at district level, and our two boys have contributed a lot to the team’s success.
I thank God for the center gift we received last year. We used it to buy some construction materials like cement and sand to help complete two classrooms we have started by our own efforts as a church. Through the gift, the classrooms are at the finishing stage and will soon be used by the children.
There is great value in the sponsor-child relationship through letters. When children receive a letter or any information from their sponsors, they feel very happy and encouraged. One sponsor wrote a letter encouraging his child to study hard to do well in his studies. The child increased effort in his studies, and he was selected to attend a special technical secondary school.
Please pray with us so we can build more classrooms, washrooms, a modern kitchen, a dining hall, and a library. Pray also for our children to do well in their studies and be able to move on to higher education for the betterment of their lives.
I would like to thank you for what you are doing for your child. Really, you are doing a great job, and God will count you for what you are doing.
God bless you,
Stephen E. N.
