[光影记录]降级减薪去非洲支教：放弃青春的桃面丹唇，谁不想让宏伟的想象肆意燃烧？
第四天：半夜3点起床，从山脚中间的沙石路开始往上爬。漫天星光，星星防佛就挂在山巅，在漆黑寂静的夜里，显得越发的璀璨夺目。沙石很滑，身后就是悬崖，走得小心翼翼。越往上爬，喘气越费劲，足足爬了3个多小时，才到了山顶。刚好登顶看到新年的第一抹曙光。
幸运的，还在山顶的蒙蒙白雾里看到了远方的乞里马加罗山，圆形的那个小凸点就是：0）

Seeking sponsorship for orphans in Kibera Slum, Kenya
Seeking sponsorship for orphans in Kibera Slum, Kenya
Looking for sponsorship for orphans to enjoy the education opportunity to go High School. We have more than 10 kids here in Kibera Slum, Kenya who had passed their entry exams but couldn’t afford to continue the study. Now they could only stay at home praying for help. The fee for sponsoring a kid to go boarding schools is around USD 550 per year and USD 350 per year for public schools. The sponsorship could be break down from USD 30 to USD 50 per month. Many kids ended up becoming thieves after dropping out from schools in the slum. It might be their only opportunity to change their destinies. Please let me know if you’d like to help and change a life! SOS!!!
Background information of the school
Name: Damside Preparatory school, Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya.
Damiside is a Preparatory school in Kibera with a size of only 60 feet by 40 feet, while it offers classes from baby class, nursery, pre-unit, to grade 1 through 8. There are 184 students in total, 90% of which are orphans who lost parents due to HIV/AIDS. The school is built from iron sheets in terribly poor condition, kids have to squeeze tightly to fit in the mini-classrooms.
Currently there are only 9 teachers; the school has a severe lack of teaching resources and funding to help the orphans out. Upon graduation from Grade 8, many students drop out form school as they couldn’t afford high school.
Every kid is entitled to the opportunity to enjoy education. However, there are kids in need everywhere but the help is so limited. The lucky ones who will be sponsored to attend high school should feel grateful to the opportunity and pay back to the society to achieve continuity of the program.
Hence, we’d like to set up the conditions for the students to receive the sponsorship:
1: The students to receive sponsorship should volunteer in Damside school to teach or help out the small kids during their school holidays.
2: The students receiving sponsorship should ensure to achieve a school mark of 800 out of 1200 (12 subjects) in the 1st and 2nd year of high school and 550 out of 700 marks in the 3rd and 4th year of their study and make sure they can enter one of the best universities in Kenya after high school graduation.
3: The students that received sponsorship shall either teach in Damside school for 2 years after having graduated from university or choose to sponsor another child to study.
