Eric Abotsi

Date of Birth: 1998

Place of Birth: Bowiri

Date of Admission: March 2009

Language spoken: Ewe

School: Delta Preparatory School

Class: Primary Two

Eric has a lisp. It’s hard to say no to that. He is 9, and he and Israel have become fast friends. He loves to play soccer. He’s a little more sensitive than the rest of the boys; he gets his feelings hurt easily. He recovers just as quickly, though, which is more than I can say about the rest of them.

Eric is a storyteller. I often see him at the head of the table, telling some story that has all of the other children completely enraptured.

Eric was brought to the orphanage in March 2009 along with his elder brother Kingsley.  Eric now attends school in Kpando. Eric has no sponsor.

He is appealing and will be very grateful if someone can further sponsor him so that he will be able to get food, clothes, proper education and medical help if needed. He likes playing football, reading and helping the younger ones. He would like to be a doctor in future.

Remember! This gives you more control of how your money is being spent and it also gives you a more personal relation to the child (and other children if you want to sponsor more than one). Please, note that all the money sent go directly to seek the child’s welfare.
