RHON­DOR DOWLAT

Proud par­ent and at­tor­ney-at-law Giselle Hamp­ton said she is very proud of her first son, Gabriel, who is sit­ting the SEA ex­am­i­na­tion to­day.

“I am so proud of the young man he is. He’s worked hard along with his Stan­dard 5 teacher and tu­tors. Him do­ing his best is all we can pray for as par­ents and that’s enough re­gard­less of the out­come," Hamp­ton said.

Gabriel is a Child Rights Am­bas­sador who is cur­rent­ly try­ing to raise funds in the tune of just more than half a mil­lion dol­lars to fund a trip to In­dia for two chil­dren who have been di­ag­nosed with can­cer.

Hamp­ton launched his "I can Cam­paign" about two years ago and is now em­bark­ing on a life-chang­ing jour­ney for two chil­dren - Je­hue Thomas, eight, and An­to­nio Paci­fique, 15, who are both in need of a bone mar­row trans­plant in In­dia. Thomas is cur­rent­ly in In­dia un­der­go­ing treat­ment but is in need of fur­ther fund­ing.

The trip and med­ical ex­pens­es are ex­pect­ed to cost $1.3 mil­lion, how­ev­er, with the gov­ern­ment's as­sis­tance Gabriel's goal is to raise $600,000 to be split be­tween Thomas and Paci­fique.

"The "I Can Cam­paign" is made up of rights to try to help chil­dren know about their rights and to help them suc­ceed but most­ly now we are help­ing peo­ple that have can­cer be­cause this stage we are in, in the "I Can cam­paign" is 'We can beat Can­cer' and I want­ed to make sure that chil­dren that have can­cer I want them to feel no pain of hav­ing it," Gabriel said in a pre­vi­ous in­ter­view with Guardian Me­dia.

Gabriel is re­laxed and con­fi­dent go­ing in­to the ex­am room this morn­ing.
