You all saw the clip in the film, Zimbabwe\u2019s Forgotten Children where Obert and his friends spent hours trying to catch a small bird and then sat eating every delicate piece of meat he could get off its tiny bones.\u00a0 It had been his first bit of food for days.<\/p>\n
We have received an extremely distressing report from the Headmaster of Obert\u2019s old rural area school to say absenteeism is at an all-time high due to severe food shortages in the area.\u00a0 Children are weak or ill due to relentless suffering from hunger.<\/p>\n
In January 2013 the school had a freak weather system come through which destroyed their agriculture plot and years of hard work.\u00a0 However this agriculture plot is an education tool and can only feed so many children, it is not enough to cover the majority.<\/p>\n
For \u00a330 you can pay a child\u2019s school fees and help us expand their agriculture plot to feed more children.\u00a0 We are working together with the school to focus on this crisis for 2014 but we desperately need the funding from you, our devoted donors.\u00a0 We have worked so hard to reduce absenteeism to only 4% and give these children an education, but how can they absorb this without nutrition?<\/p>\n
Obert is doing very well at boarding school and exceling in his subjects.\u00a0 We have high hopes for his future in being a part of helping his beloved community, but for now his friends are suffering in a way he knows so well and he finds this heart-breaking.\u00a0 Please help Obert\u2019s friends, the way you helped him!<\/p>\n
