Meet Lydia, who has been generously sponsored by Keith Babler of Cascade Cheese. She is 7 years old and is going to school for the first time this year in ABC. Lydia lives in Sanniquellie, Liberia with her grandmother. Both of her parents have not been apart of Lydia’s life since birth because they were young when they had her. Lydia’s father had disowned the pregnancy and the mother had given Lydia to her grandmother pretty much right after birth. According to the grandmother, when Lydia was an infant, she would take her to other moms who were breastfeeding their infant for Lydia to be able to be fed because she could not afford to buy baby formula for Lydia. Lydia has been on the GPA school waiting list for one year. Her interests are helping her grandmother and she hopes to be a nurse when she grows up.
