Meeting Gard | DR Congo | Dream School
GO! | DR Congo | Dream School
February 25, 2021 – Meeting Gard
We visited this area of DR Congo in September of 2009. Shortly after this visit we asked our partners in-country, Noah Ministries, to survey the local community for orphans in need. We also wanted to know how we could potentially help these children if there were actual needs. What we found was 100’s of orphaned children unable to attend school!
Gard is now 8 years of age. He is ahead of schedule in 4th grade and is from Jolicte in the DR Congo. His father passed away due to illness from malaria, but his mom was unable to send him to school.
He enjoys football (soccer) and his favorite team is Barcelona. Gard does well in school with his favorite subject being math.
Gard hopes to be a musician as he grows older and he loves to sing at school and at church. When asked who his favorite Bible character is he simply states ‘God’. Awesome that we can support Gard in his education in DR Congo’s Dream School!
-----------------------
We have been serving in DR Congo since January 2015 when we started supporting 160 orphaned children with their education at the Dream School. We continue this work today at the same school, in Likasi, DR Congo, and have grown to serve 171 orphaned children in 2019.
The Dream School includes grades 1 through 6 and includes biblical instruction too. The results of our efforts are that 100’s of children have been able to progress through school through the 6th grade who would have otherwise been left behind. School is not provided at no costs in the DR Congo, and these orphaned children, living with extended family, would not have been afforded the opportunity for even a 6th grade education without the Global Orphan Relief supporters.
