Rotary club secure a little girl’s schooling

LYMM Rotary Club have helped secure a little South African girl’s schooling.
Amina Neumann is a pretty, softly spoken little girl who deserves a chance in life.
She attends “Little Sparklers”, part of Hope Education, where they educate, feed and support children in the East London area of South Africa who are either infected or affected by HIV and Aids.
Amina lives in Reeston, a dirt-poor area. There is no access to electricity or running water. There are no flush toilets and a bucket system is used as a toilet. These buckets are collected weekly and emptied. There is a huge crime problem in this area and she is exposed to the threat of abuse and violence daily.
Her father drinks excessively and verbally abuses Amina and just recently he has kicked the mother and child out of their home and they are now seeking alternative accommodation.
The cost of Amina’s schooling is £61.58 per month. This includes a first class education, 2 hot meals a day and transport to school and home again. The parents pay £30 per month school fees and transport costs.
Lymm Rotary club has paid Amina’s school fees and transport costs for the rest of this year.
The senior teacher at “Little Sparklers”, Penny Gasson, sent the following e-mail to the club, “Thank you so much. Amina’s Mom will be overjoyed to know that Amina’s schooling is sponsored for the rest of the year.”
