📚 It’s #SponsoredStudentTuesday! We’re always excited for our supporters to learn more about students in our ‘Education Is Power’ program. Today let’s meet Felix Chiwatu from Malawi!

Felix is 17 years old and is currently in grade 10, for his second year being sponsored by The Sonder Project. 

Before being sponsored, Felix missed his entire first year of high school due to his family not being able to afford school fees. Now, he is back in school and no longer worried about being chased away from class. Plus, he is even able to stay in the school dormitory so he can better focus on his studies!

Felix is a determined and charismatic teen, frequently flashing his bright smile to make others feel comfortable. Felix's favorite subject is Biology, and he enjoys spending time in the laboratory. Felix hopes one day to pursue his dream career of becoming a doctor... that is, if his excellent soccer skills don’t get him picked up by the Malawi national team! ⚽️

We asked Felix to tell us how student sponsorship has empowered him: 

“Education gives me the power to understand all the dimensions of life and to overcome poverty. Thanks to being sponsored, there are so many things I’ve learned and so many places I’ve visited that I would not have otherwise.”

We all believe in you, Felix! 💫
