November
2024
Betty is eight years old and in the first grade. She lives with her single, unemployed father and her two siblings. About two years ago, their mother abandoned the family and moved to another country, Guinea. Despite the challenges, Betty is determined to succeed. She enjoys helping her father with chores, especially fetching water from the creek for cooking and drinking. Betty dreams of becoming a doctor when she grows up, and she remains hopeful that one day her family’s circumstances will improve so she can continue her education. Sponsored by: Mary Struckmeyer
