Erick is an active young boy who loves to listen to and make music of his own. When he runs around and plays in the compound, he can often be heard singing his favorite songs. He works hard in school and particularly excels in math class. When he grows up, Erick aspires to become a teacher in his village to help others. Erick?s parents are both poor peasants who are unemployed and lack a reliable source of income. With a family of five children, Erick?s parents struggle to meet each of their children?s basic needs. As a result, Erick often lacks adequate food needed to grow healthily, and his school fees go unpaid. Through sponsorship, Erick will receive things like nutritious meals and a continuing education.
