From worry to WONDER: Yusuf’s Story
Without accessible education, Yusuf worried that he would never be able to write or learn with his peers. Thanks to a generous sponsor, he was able to access local community centre programs and attend school with confidence. Now, he can start the year with wonder and curiosity about the new things he will learn in class!
Like Yusuf, there are many other children where school may never be an option without support. Karis will be promoting child sponsorship across various marketing channels to share Yusuf’s story and to find support for children who need an opportunity to learn in a school that will welcome them.
Over the next few weeks, keep an eye on our Karis social media pages for heartfelt stories like this one. As a member of the Karis Disability Services team, you can help us amplify these stories by sharing them and the impact of our work!
There are many children still waiting for a sponsor, and we think they’ve been waiting too long. This fall, let’s help find sponsors who will provide the opportunity for these children to learn, grow, and belong. We can all help turn worry into wonder!
