When Sackville school in East Grinstead wanted to sponsor a boy, we found Apendae in his last year of primary school. His 96 classmates voted him the most deserving of help!
Sackville raised funds by holding a Christmas fair and a Valentines gift service to provide uniform, books and a three-month English study course before secondary school.
In Tanzania primary education is conducted in Swahili and then they must learn in English in secondary – a recipe for failure! He achieved well in his Primary leaving exam and attended Lindi Secondary school.
Sadly Apendae dropped out of school and we no longer know where he is. Despite our support, life in Tanzania is hard and we cannot always guarantee the best outcome for the people we help.
