Jacob Mase is returning to his new family

Jacob Mase

In August 2012 Whisper team was called to help in Kaitabawala village to a very old man who lived with his grandson… The old man had no strength as he often starved and any food he collected, he would give it to Jacob. He was worried he may die any day and there is nobody to take care of little Jacob. We promised that when this day comes, we will take care of Jacob and help his future.

Whisper has returned back with more clothing for Jacob and some food.

In December 2012 we got a phone call. A neighbour called to inform us that the old man had died.

After his burial the next day, we collected little Jacob and took him to our Whisper home.

Jacob started to go to school, started to talk English,  he loved his new friends, he played lots of games with the children, he went swimming and he completed whole two school terms at Whisper's school with great results. 

Our hardworking team of outreach workers has found a new extended family for Jacob in the same village. A Lady, who was a friend to the old man, was ready to take care of Jacob with food and home environment. "I can give him food, I can give him place to sleep, however I won't be able to pay his school fees as I am struggling to pay for my own children" she said.

We were very happy to hear such great news and after the holidays before the beginning of a new term, we brought Jacob to his new home in September 2013.

To our surprise, Jacob was so happy to be having a new home. He proudly carried his own mattress on his head and didn't want anybody to help him. When we reached to his new house, he had to take all the bags with his clothes by himself inside, and he could not stop smiling. It was just a pleasure to watch him and it gave us a great deal of satisfaction.

Jacob started to go to the nearest school called "The Guardian Primary School".
Whisper is taking care of his school fees in Primary 1 level. The school fees is £8 a term. There are also other extras that we contribute such is money for all stationery, food, shaving his head, uniform and shoes.

As Jacob will be promoted to other school levels, the school fees will increase on its costs. We love Jacob, he is such a kind and humble boy, who never fights, and helps anybody around him. He loves studying and creativity. This boy can have a bright future, if we can continue invest to his life. This boy was once given to the old man by his father four years ago and up to today, Jacob's father hasn't made any contact with him.

If you wish to make a difference, an amount such is £5 a month can give Jacob assurance with his studies for the next three years. 

Whisper is taking care for so many neglected but talented, loving and beautiful children, we need your help!
