MEET MY FRIEND JOSEPH!He is 12 years old and studies at Uwa

Primary School.

“My school used to be in a bad condition. The toilets were in bad shape, the classroom floors were broken and the kitchen was very

basic, it was made of mud and timber. Childreach International has constructed a

kitchen and toilets and renovated the classrooms so now I study in a good

environment. When I grow up I want to be a doctor, as I want to save lives”.
