MY FAMILY:

My family consists of my parents, four siblings and me. I am the second child. We are currently living in a rented house made from corrugated iron. Therefore, the house is very hot in the summer and leaks during the rainy season, directly affecting our studies. My father works as a parking lot attendant with a low income. My mother, on the other hand, sells drinks on the sidewalk, which also brings her a precarious and low income. Consequently, our parents cannot send my two youngest siblings to kindergarten, so my eldest sister and I take turns to look after them after school. My family is facing many difficulties and I love my parents very much when I see they work very hard to raise us.

MY STUDY:

My two siblings and I are of school age. We are going to school in poor conditions and without adequate school supplies because my parents cannot afford it. I am myself an active girl at school and I like many sports activities. I have moved to a new secondary school and enjoy it here as I have met a lot of new friends. With my current circumstance, I may leave school early at any time and I really do not want it to happen. I do hope that you might extend a helping hand to our family so that I can keep my study and have a better future. 

Family Members:

L.O.V.E.'s Note:  This family really needs help and the children need encouragement to strive in school and life, towards a better future. A family sponsorship is highly recommended.
