Meet Promise, who has been generously sponsored by Ann Wenzel and Arlene Norris as a special birthday gift for Mary Zins. She is 11 years old and is going to school for the first time this year in ABC. Promise lives in Vehyipa, Liberia with her older sister. After the death of their mother 2 years ago, her 21 years old sister dropped out of school to raise her siblings. Promise got first degree burns on a third of her body when hot water that she was boiling fell on her. Promise’s interests are helping her sister and she hopes to be a police officer when she grows up.
