Trevor and Comfort

This is Trevor and his younger brother Comfort.....




Their father came to put them on the waiting list at the beginning of 2010...... After waiting for a year, their turn came to be eligible to enter the sponsorship program and to begin school. In 2011 Trevor entered the K5 class and graduated Kindergarten a few weeks ago. During the 2012 school year, he will be among our first grade class. Comfort was in the K3 class for 2011 and will be in K4 during the 2012 school year.


So, why are these brothers even at Vision of Destiny? Their mother decided to separate from their father and left, leaving behind the boys. Their father does odd jobs to make whatever he can to survive. Often he works even overnight, meaning the boys often sleep at home alone, sometimes this goes on for weeks at a time. Neither one of them can cook so often that mean sleeping without supper and waiting until their father returns home to fix them something to eat. Sometimes they even have to wake up and get themselves ready for school......... another reason Vision of Destiny is so desperately trying to build a boarding school!


Trevor struggled a bit to catch up to his classmates this year. He was in music as his after school activity and enjoyed. In 2012, he has chosen to be in soccer and field hockey as his after school activities. He's a quiet boy and very well mannered.


Comfort did well in school. He's very talkative and participates actively in class. He's chosen to participate in music as his after school activity next year but also likes playing soccer when he can during breaks at school.


Both boys are still waiting for sponsorship.......
