My Preschool Twins



Are these not the cutest little 4 year olds you have ever seen!? Elizabeth and Margret stole my heart the minute I saw them. I had already been looking at sponsoring siblings, and twins is always a good option. In fact, we have several sets of twins in the CHZ program. I was just introduced to these little ones this morning. They will be 5 years old in December. I am sure they will be excited to learn they will be able to go to preschool and get a pair of shoes, school supplies, book bag, etc. In 2 years, they will be able to start primary school, but until then, they can learn a lot at the early education center established by Child Hope Zambia.

Now, the deal was I would sponsor one child for every 7 children that were sponsored by others (for a max of ten children). I was up to 9 children already because sponsors had been found for 63 children in less than two months! Now, we are up to above 70, so I am supposed to take on my one last child. However, I just could take one of the girls and not the other! Plus, I took on a sibling of one of my other children when I had intended to focus on the girls, so I took on another 1st grader as well. That brings me to a grand total of 12. We have close to 90 children sponsored now, and the program has only been around for 2 1/2 months!

We have plenty more children who are waiting and praying for a sponsor. If you would like to help one of these children for only $9 a month, visit www.childhopezambia.blogspot.com
