Mary and Judith started school at Vision of Destiny in 2011 after spending almost a year on the waiting list. They were growing up in the village happily with their family- mother, father, brothers, and sisters. Then their dad sold off all their land and disappeared. Their mother was thrown off the land. The family (minus dad) ended up in the slums near the school. For a living, their mom does odd jobs in order to pay for the single room they all live/sleep in as well as feeding her family. Sometimes she sells mangoes. Sometimes it's peanuts that's she's selling. Sometimes she braids hair. Sometimes there's not enough "jobs" and the family eats only once a day.
Mary is 7 and Judith is 6. Both girls are beginning K5 in Jan. and are waiting for sponsorship.
