Biography
Sheila is a joyful and pleasant young girl in grade 8 at local Jr. Secondary school. She believes she can make a difference in her family and community if given the opportunity to overcome her current difficult circumstances. Sheila lives with her parents and her 5 siblings. Her parents do their best but in their home place, it is difficult to get work and they go to the local town every day to offer their services washing clothes, farming etc. This has barely kept food on the table let alone provide school fees for their children. As Sheila nears secondary school, she is trusting God to provide for her to finish well. Would you be the one to stand with her?
