"I would like to become a sailor to travel around the world by riding a very big ship across the oceans, just like in the movies. I love drawing and colouring. I usually spend my time with my roommates reading books and watching cartoons.

My story
Jessi comes from an unpopular area in Rakhine state, Myanmar. Rakhine state is one of the states where the military coups target to destroy, therefore, the terrorists are shooting and burning houses from villages. Jessi’s family could no longer support him to go to school since the whole village was burned by the terrorist and had to run to a refugee camp.Why Jessi needs our help
There are thousands of people who need a hand to live and Jessi is one of them too! When Jessi arrived Win Children Home, he did not make contact with people and tried to isolate himself as he thought it would be safe for him. Now Jessi starts communicating with other children and also going to school well. He is a growing up boy so your sponsorship would be life changing for him.
As a charity, Win Children Home supports a safe environment and provides nutritious diet for all the children. Every child goes to public school and is able to learn the proper education by the support we received from the sponsorship. There is stagnation in Myanmar so that a budget for each child is essential for their daily survival.
Jessi is supported by impact partner Win Myanmar Mission
What does the day look like: At half past five the children get up and from six o'clock in the morning the children come together for a morning prayer. After the prayer, the children prepare for the school day for an hour and then have breakfast together. At half past three the children come home from school and then they do their homework. Before eating, they first get a chance to play. Dinner will end with a prayer time. After that there is still time to do homework and then the day is over and they go to sleep at 9.30 pm. In the weekends there is extra attention for Bible study and association with the children from the neighborhood. Project Information: The project in Myanmar that your sponsor child is part of is located in Yangon. It is a children's home where more than 20 children currently live. The children's home is part of Win Myanmar Mission, founded in 2003 by Pastor Dr. Philip Thang; a ministry aimed at reaching the lost in Myanmar. In 1975, this preacher came to faith during a campaign. After his radical conversion, he has a strong desire to serve the Lord. GMF went to Myanmar many times in 2009 and thereafter to hold a conference with Pastor Philip. Hundreds of people have come to faith and many have been healed. GMF also visited Pastor Philip's children's home and decided to include these children in the program. The goal of the children's home is to give the children a safe home, where they receive healing and restoration and can thus blossom into strong, independent individuals rooted in the love of Jesus. Your support provides your sponsor child with food, school and teaching materials, housing and medical care, so that the children have a bright future perspective and can realize their dream.Sponsor Jessi
