March 15, 2014<\/p>

On 14 March 2014, the Wad-Sherifey Elementary School for Eritrean Refugees in Eastern Sudan ended its academic year for 2013-2014 in a colourful ceremony attended by invited guests, parents and town dwellers.<\/p>

Of the 616 students who took part in the final exams, 526 (i.ei. 85.5%) were promoted; 274 were boys and 252 girls.<\/p>

At the ceremony, students showed plays, dramas, traditional songs and poetry in Arabic, Tigre, Tigrigna as well as in English. Most of the children attended grades one to six but there were 55 girls and 46 boys who were taught in English at grades seven and eight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

During the struggle for Eritrean independence against the Ethiopian occupation which lasted for 30 years (1961-1991), the Ethiopian occupation army unleashed the scorched earth terror using aerial and artillery bombardment and roving troops that rounded up villages and towns, burned homes, slaughtered cattle and destroyed crops. \u00a0Such indiscriminate and perpetual mass killings escalated to all over Eritrea. \u00a0It was this horror that created big waves of flights across the border into neighboring countries, particularly The Sudan for refuge.

Since independence, Eritrea has been ruled by a self appointed dictator that has denied the Eritrean people to live in peace, justice and prosperity. \u00a0The youth has been leaving the country to escape forced conscription and persecution imposed upon them by the existing rogue one-man and one-party regime.

Today, the number of Eritrean Refugees living in The Sudan is over 770,000. \u00a0The living standard is low with inadequate health services and schools for the children. \u00a0This kind of hardship led EDA toinitiate this \u201cSponsor a Child\u201d program.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How child sponsorship works?
<\/span><\/b><\/p>

Sponsorship is the best way to change the life of a poor child in a developing country. \u00a0Your sponsorship through EDA connects you with one very real child and his or her family. \u00a0Your donation can transform the life of a needy child in poverty by providing him or her with some of life\u2019s basic needs, education, health care and nutritious food. \u00a0

How much does a sponsor have to contribute to sponsor a child?

It costs a sponsor less than one dollar a day. \u00a0Each sponsorship pays $20.00 a month or $240.00 a year, payable in advance quarterly, every six months or annually, whichever is convenient. \u00a0Your sponsorship donations are tax deductible. \u00a0EDA is a tax exempt nonprofit corporation. \u00a0No deductions will be made from the sponsor\u2019s donations for administrative purposes or any overhead costs. \u00a0EDA volunteers will facilitate the process at no charge to anyone. Therefore, all sponsorship payments 100% will go to the sponsored child or his \/ her family. \u00a0If for any reason at any time, you are unable to continue the sponsorship, please remember to inform us three months in advance and within that time we will find a sponsor and ensure the uninterrupted support to the child.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What do you get as a sponsor?<\/span><\/b><\/p>

The sponsor\u2019s ultimate reward is spiritual satisfaction and self fulfilment by impacting a real and lasting difference in the life of a growing child. \u00a0You’ll know you are making a difference through the
photos and letters you receive from your sponsored child. You will also receive an annual report from EDA on project reports and how funds were delivered. As a sponsor you may want to send cards or letters to your child to help build a relationship.

We are calling for your help in giving a light of hope to a child in a desperate need.
