Jon’s visit to meet Dancan
My name is Jon Marshall and I sponsor Dancan Atako.
I have done so now for approximately 5 years. I have been lucky enough to meet Dancan and his mother who also works at Nasio’s headquarters currently with the Green Team.
Every time I go I feel humbled and honoured to meet this family who make you realise that simple things in life matter because despite the hardships they face each day they always smile.
Whenever I am at the compound Dancan will visit every day – not sure if it’s to see me or to collect the sweets I take him!
On this year’s home visit I was extremely pleased to see that some of the ground around the family house has been used for farming maze.
I still find it amazing how the family all look after each other something that a lot of modern western families seem to have lost the ability to do.

Personally I would recommend sponsoring a child because it does make a difference to their lives and from visiting the family over a number of years I know this to be factual.
