Winnie’s father was stopped to work suddenly and hence loosing his job.
Because of this Winnie almost missed to sit his s.4 leaving exams. She was assisted by the Director and another teacher to
sit.
She could not afford dues for A’ Level. So she remained home as her friends joined A’ Level.
Winnie had then joined hair dressing industry from where she was picked and now happily studying and
doing well. She gives thanks to God.
Mariam’s Dad died when she was 9 years old. All along she had been staying with her Auntie who is a peasant because
her mother was chased out of the house by the relatives after the father’s death. Mariam had been so irregular in class
due to lack of school fees. In S3, the auntie fell sick and she had to drop out of school because there was nobody to get
her school dues.
It was then that the Director identified her and paid her dues for the w whole ‘O’ level.
In A’ Level ,she does some domestic work like mopping and sweeping offices for her school fees .She still needs
support for scholastic materials, guidance and petty money for her studies.
