Education Changed My Life!
Education changed my life!
By Faustin Chongombe
I was born in Congo Kinshasa (Former Zaire). I belong to a family of seven children and I was the third born. I always wanted to study but my parents could hardly afford to send all of us to school at the same time because of lack of financial resources. After primary school I was sponsored by Belgian Flemish Missionaries to go to one of their high schools which were situated in Bondo, a small village in the Northern Region of Congo.
It seems crazy to think that it has already been 5 years since myself, an 18 year old Gap Student from England, and Henry Matthews, Head of Sport at a South African Private School, proudly took our first child, Thabo, to begin his new life at MafikengPrimary School. Little did we know how successful our once small project would become? Since its founding, SOS Africa has grown from strength to strength thanks to the support of its sponsors from the UK and around the world. Our organization now fully funds the education and care of many underprivileged children from the townships of Mafikeng.
