Zoe Means Life!
If ever a child was aptly named - 6 year old Zoe - whose name comes from the Greek word which means “life” - is that child. Bubbly, energetic and always on the move - this little girl exudes life with her winning smile and the sparkle in her eyes.
Abandoned at the hospital by her mother shortly after birth, Zoe arrived at Treasures of Africa Children’s Home as a newborn infant. With no name and no clothes, she was quickly showered with loving care and given a name by our Medical Director Jodie Schooley, that was prophetic of the personality she would soon display.
Zoe is athletic and loves to play outside and can often be seen scaling to the top of the playground equipment with the agility of a gymnast. She also loves to sing and will often boldly lead out in song during the children’s evening devotions. Her dynamic personality makes her a natural leader. She is as close as natural sisters could ever be - with Diamond and Maria - (also six year olds) who have been together with Zoe at TOA since infancy.
Zoe is bright and has excelled in our in-house pre-school. She loves to read and we feel confident that when she begins school in January, that she will quickly rank in the top of the class. We plan to enroll her in a Private English Medium Primary School as she is fluent in English and Swahili.
School fees and other academic related expenses are the one of the biggest challenges the orphanage faces each year. If you would like to help sponsor Zoe’s academic expenses - the cost for the year is $1,300.
