'Help Save a Baby's Life' Financial Goal is Reached
 We
are thrilled to announce that our financial goal for the 'Help Save a Baby's
Life' campaign has been reached! You may remember that we were raising money
for our student Jeanette's unborn baby boy. Jeanette is HIV-positive and due
at the end of September. Our hope is to give the baby a chance at a full life
by taking certain measures to block the transmission of the virus to him.
Measures include: taking antiretroviral drugs, having a C-section delivery,
and formula-feeding after he is born. You can read more about what we
raised money for here.
Thanks to the support of our generous donors, we are able to
provide Jeanette with everything we set out to give her. We will see her in
Rwanda later this month and will be bringing supplies with us and training
her on baby care.
Thank you to all who gave and have showed concern for Jeanette
and her baby!
Student Spotlight: Thierry
 Thierry
has just completed his second trimester of Secondary 5 (11th grade).
He enjoys being part of the choir and traditional dance team at church
and is thankful for all Global Capacity has done for him. Studying
construction is his dream. He is excited for the opportunities this section
will offer him for his future. Thierry loves to draw and hopes to attend
University after Secondary school for architecture or engineering. He is
thankful to put his natural talents of drawing towards his future. Many times
in his younger years his drawing is what enabled him to earn money for food.
Although this gave him some finances to live his heart was to continue
school. He stopped drawing so he could attend school.
He completed his Secondary 5 yearly project. You can see his
blue print drawing in the photo above. Without the support of Global Capacity
he would never have been able to have the tools to complete this project in a
good way. These tools paid for by his sponsors will not only enable him to do
well in school but they will also help in obtaining work afterwards. Here in
Rwanda, having the tools of your trade go a long way in obtaining
employment.
