Dorcus

My name is Dorcus. I am from Zimbabwe. I am in grade two and I am nine years old. My mother passed away three years ago and my father passed away last year.

After both my parents died, I was taken to stay with my maternal grandparents in Gokwe. Then my grandparents also died and I was taken back to my father's home town. For more than a year I was moved from one home to another seeking a permanent home to stay in. Finally, I was taken to my paternal grandmother's place, where I am staying now. It's not all rosy as my life has become even harder. Sometimes I am given work to do before I go to school which makes me very tired when I get to school. My grandmother has a hard time providing for my daily needs like food and school supplies. If it were not for God's Garden who gave me notebooks and pencils, I would not be able to go to school. I am given clothes by people and they tell me to water their gardens in exchange. I also work for other people to get food and clothes.

Sometimes, my grandmother sends me to other people to work for money to buy food. Sometimes I do not go to school because I have to go water other people's gardens. I wish to pursue my studies to higher levels but I need help.

You can change a life. $15 feeds an orphan for a month. What will you do?
