 | | Area Development Program Cesar Vallejo, Peru. An orphan child of a shanty town continues school thanks to community support. Jesus Manuel and his brothers receive medical attention at a World Vision health campaign. Poor children in Peru have to face many obstacles in order to continue studying. The economic situation gets worse in the capital city, where children are forced to work to earn their living, especially when they do not have parents or a family that can support and guide them. World Vision is promoting education for all children and works with community volunteers in order to encourage them to be involved with child care. Photo by Miriam Rafael/World Vision. |

| | Kenyatta National Hospital, Kenya. Timothy Kariuki, who is recovering from a spine operation at the spinal injury hospital, flexes his muscles with the physiotherapy equipment. He is improving and should be able to use most of his limbs. A spinal implant, provided by World Vision Gift in Kind to Kenyatta National Hospital, has given new hope to new patients suffering from spinal injuries. After surgery some of them are improving tremendously and are grateful to World Vision for making the donation. They are especially thankful because treatment of spinal injuries in Kenya is very expensive and limited to the extremely wealthy. Photo by Michael Arunga/World Vision. |

| | Africa. The bricks made by brick-making trainees go into constructing three new classrooms at the Mamokaile Primary School. The classrooms will house pupils who currently pair up with other pupils from different classes in the same space, for lack of classrooms. Pictures on the brick project focus on 12-year old Nkele Rachoshi, a World Vision sponsored child. Her family benefited from the organizations assistance in constructing new houses after floods flattened their mud houses. The floods, which affected other southern African countries as well, brought down one wall of a hut as Nkele, her baby sister, and two cousins slept. Fearing the rest of the walls would collapse and that they would be swept away by the swirling waters, the children rushed to huddle in their granny's one-room house. The kids have sought shelter at Granny's since, while waiting for their new brick house to be complete. The brick project is housed in Mamokaile Primary School, at which Nkele is among the 688 World Vision-sponsored pupils. The immediate aim is to help community members affected by the floods to reconstruct better shelter, using brick-making skills and a donation of 15 cement bags, provided by the organization. The beneficiaries contribute sand, water, and labor. The long-term aim is for skilled brick-makers to produce affordable bricks to the community. Photo by Winnie Ogana/World Vision. |

| | Sierra Leone, Africa. Musu is holding some eggplant (notice missing fingers). When rebels attacked Musu's village, located deep in Sierra Leone's swampy jungle, she begged for her life as a knife-wielding rebel took his machete and cut off her fingers. It is a story all too common in Sierra Leone's bloody civil war. Disabled and uprooted from her regular life, Musu and her husband struggled to survive. They were destitute and hungry. Lacking the resources to feed her whole family, Musu was forced to send Hawa, her eight-year-old daughter, to live with her aunt. Eventually World Vision began an AgPak program in Musu's area. Over the last two years, her family and the entire village have slowly regained the seed bank that was lost during the war. Today they are working toward self-sufficiency. She says her life and the lives of her children are significantly enhanced, all with the help of World Vision's Agpak program. Photo by Philip Maher/World Vision. |
