ANITA: S981-BOR

Anita is a brave and hardworking 13-year-old girl in the second grade. She lives with her mother, who works tirelessly to provide for their small family. About six years ago, Anita’s father abandoned them and has not returned, leaving Anita and her mother to rely on each other for support. Anita takes on many responsibilities at home. She is the one who cooks meals for the family while her mother spends long hours on the farm, gathering wood to sell in order to earn enough money to buy food. Despite her circumstances, Anita is determined to continue her education and make a better life for herself and her mother. Her teachers admire her resilience and dedication, as Anita juggles her household responsibilities with her schoolwork. Anita’s dream is to one day create a stable and secure future for her family, and her courage and determination show she is well on her way to achieving it. Sponsored by:
