Notes:

Hannington is still a reserved boy and struggling with the bitterness he feels towards his father. Through counseling he is able to see the positive side of things now but is still working through many issues. Being in a stable and loving home has helped him get back on track.

Child Financial Needs:

The Ugandan government does not offer free education at any level. Before coming to the home, many of the children had been forced to drop out of school because they were unable to pay the fees. El-Shadai Family Foster Home believes that all children should have an education and a safe, loving environment where all of their basic needs are met.

Current Sponsorship Status:

Hannington's education is currently sponsored by Srijana Angdembey.
