Rita is a bright 9-year-old girl who currently lives with her grandmother. Four years ago, Rita’s father left for the capital city in search of employment, but the family has not heard from him since.

Despite these challenges, Rita is an exceptionally serious and dedicated student, as noted by her teachers. Her determination to succeed in her education shines through, even in the face of adversity. Rita’s commitment and resilience are truly inspiring, and with the right support, she has the potential to achieve great things. Sponsored by: Ann Dencker & Gary Peroutka
