Jesse Musowe lives in Kamwi Village with her mother, twin brothers & step-father who is 76 years of age. She is eleven years old and in grade four at Mukuni Basic School. Although Jesse is not really an orphan she is from an extremely poor family. To earn money to provide for the family her step-father grew vegetables some miles from their home then carried two heavy loads twice a week to Livingstone, a distance of twenty miles from Kamwi. To ease the burden The Butterfly Tree bought the old man a donkey and asked him to provide his vegetables for our feeding program at Mukuni school , only three miles from his home.

The Butterfly Tree has also added Aaron and Saikuba, both thirteen years of age, to our orphan sponsorship program, all three children are gaining a good edcuation and the step-father has a much easier task.
