Whisperers of the Jungle 2010
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010AMARA Aid is continuing to support the ‘Whisperers of the Jungle’ in Tanzania throughout 2010. The charity is currently supporting 76 young people with 20 children living at the ‘Whisperers of the Jungle’ home in Arusha. Two of the latest children to join the home are Adam and Tausi.
Adam is nine years old and was living on the streets of Arusha when a university student visiting from England befriended Adam and asked ‘Whisperers of the Jungle’ to take him into their care. She is financially helping with his education and general expenses. As the youngest in the home the teenage girls treat Adam as their little brother. It’s quite a turnaround for him coming
from the cruel streets to a home with 16 big sisters! Tausi is a fifteen year old orphaned girl who was working as a housemaid in Arusha in October
when she received terrible burns from a pot of hot cooking oil. Tausi has spent many weeks in hospital and one of the doctors requested ‘Whisperers of the Jungle’ to provide a safe place for her to live. Tausi has now joined the ‘Whisperers of the Jungle’ home and will start school in mid-2010 with the
support of AMARA Aid.
