This week we intend to look at how your donations to KTDP have impacted and changed the lives of the children and young people of Kibera. We will start with the story of Charles Chola.
Charles Chola finally graduated. He was among the three students who tied for the first position in Pre-Unit class. Charles came to KTDP in 2009 in a sorry state. He had been bitten by a snake and had a festering wound that was threatening his limbs and the rest of his body. His parents who live in Kibera could not afford to pay for a surgery which in total costs around 40,000shs. Charles had to sit on the side and watch the other children play because the wound kept getting worse.
Through KTDP, Charles underwent surgery at Kijabe Hospital where the doctors operated on his leg and made him an artificial shoe; he can now play with his friends and would often been seen playing football during play time. It was a great joy to see him receive his certificate and a present for being the top performing student in Pre-Unit. What would have turned out to be a tragic case of an amputated leg become a story of great triumph, and with such a determined heart and brilliant mind, Charles is destined for greatness in the future. We wish Charles the best as he goes on to class one.
