Meet Ruth, who has been generously sponsored by Sherry Reigel Melde. She is 11 years old and, in the 3rd grade this year. She lives in Sanniquellie, Liberia with her aunt. Both of Ruth’s parents are unemployed and are struggling to support their large family. She was given to her aunt hoping that the aunt could send her to school. Unfortunately, the aunt too has 4 children of her own and cannot afford to send Ruth to school on a regular basis. Ruth hopes to be a teacher when she grows up.
