Child's resettlement: Sowedy, Esther, Rachel, Bazale & John

Sowedi is leaving Whisper's home and going to the Magwa boarding school in Jinja -- Sowedi in February 2010. Watch our private YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9WZNIjPGD0 Sowedi, our Sowedi... Sowedi is our little hero. He has inspired you,  lovely people , to help us to establish the Whisper home , where he  was growing up with other orphaned children for the last three and half years. He was just a little three year old malnourished boy when we met Sowedi. A boy with jigger infested feed and hands, who was left neglected after his father died. That moment we decided that we were going to make a difference to him and to the children in similar situations. Today, Sowedi has reached the stage when he is able to take care of himself well, who in fact, helps to take care of others. We had chosen for him a good boarding school where Sowedi will feel inspired and motivated every day. We at Whisper wish him well and we hope that together with you we will be able to continue making a difference in his life in the future. -- Rachel and Esther leaving Whisper's home -- Rachel Beautiful and always happy Rachel entered our Whisper home between the very first children in May 2011; in fact she was the very first one who would be taken care of by Whisper's home. I remember seeing this little girl in early January, when her uncle Silvester used to bring her to us, whilst we were establishing the home.  She was three and half years old, very sad and sleepy girl. She would fall asleep in our arms, or even whilst standing due to malaria. She used to come to my bed at 6 in the morning, standing looking at me, wanted to hug me.  Rachel didn't want to smile for a long time, I used to smiled at her telling her I wanted to see the beautiful smile that she had. Once I heard her talking and smiling with Sowedi (perhaps I still have it somewhere recorded) as they sat on the floor in the class and chatted happily. The first moments in the class with teacher Lucky are ones that I will remember forever. It felt so special. Everyday love and care changed Rachel completely. She has become the happiest girl I know. Since we got our first three months old baby Diana in July 2012, she had been helping to take care of small babies. She is a real role model to every child and we are going to miss her dearly. We won't be that far away from her, because she is being taken to her uncle, where Whisper helped to improve the living condition, and she will be visiting local primary school with the rest of the Whisper children who Whisper successfully re-rehabilitated and re-united with their extended families. Please check our Facebook page for regular updates about Rachel.   Esther I wrote a blog about Esther some months back in one of our newsletters on the 16th of May 2014. Esther was dumbed by her father onto her HIV positive uncle and auntie in Mutai. We met uncle Silvester in February 2011 when he brought to our home her cousin Rachel. Esther started to visit our nursery school in May 2011 and four months after she became our resident. Esther will be reunited back with her extended family together with Rachel. She will be visiting Mutai Primary school and Whisper will continue to pay for all her basic,  educational and medical needs. You can read the story about her in our blog here.

-- John is leaving Whisper's home -- John John was also amongst the first children Whisper's home received. Together with his two older brothers he lived alone in a very small and dirty mud house. Today, John is going to join his two older brothers and will continue living with them and their oldest brother, who accepted to take care of them in the new rented house in Mutai by Whisper. Boys will be attending the nearby Mutai primary school as the rest of the children who Whisper re-united with their families in Mutai. We are now getting the new home ready for them. The rent of the home is £5/month. You can read more about John and his brothers in our previous blog from the 7 November 2013 here. The house that Whisper started to rent for the brothers in September. Renata and Emilie are decorating the room.
