Meet Melvina, who has been generously sponsored by Charles Owens. She is 11 years old and is going to school for the first time this year in ABC. Melvina lives in Gbapa, Liberia with her unemployed, widowed mother. Since the death of Melvina’s father, their mother has been struggling to make ends meet. She simply cannot afford to send the kids to school. Melvina hopes to be a nurse when she grows up.
