When Obrien Sitali was asked if there was anything else he needed after receiving news of his orphan sponsorship, his reply was ‘only to say thanks’. Not computer games, ipods, or designer clothes just simply an education was all he needed. Having lost his parents and many other members of his family, Obrien lives with his elderly grandmother and has to walk several miles to school but like many of the children his education means a great deal to him.
