Serena is an 11-year-old girl in Kindergarten-1, full of dreams and a desire to help her family. After the passing of her mother, Serena and her four siblings were taken in by their grandmother. Despite her love and dedication to the children, the grandmother’s monthly income of just $150 is not enough to provide for their basic needs and send them to school consistently. Serena dreams of becoming a businesswoman when she grows up, inspired by the idea of creating a better life for herself and her family. She already has a nurturing spirit and loves to help her grandmother cook, showing a natural inclination for responsibility and teamwork. Though her circumstances are challenging, Serena’s determination to achieve her dream keeps her hopeful. She believes that education will be the foundation for her success, and with the right support, she hopes to rise above her current struggles and one day provide a stable and prosperous future for her family.
