About

Victoria is a bright girl whose hope has been kindled by admission to Agape Mercy Children's Center. She became a partial orphan when her father died in October 2006. Victoria's family is poor - her mother had been a housewife before the death of her unemployed father. With the death of the father, the full burden of feeding and providing for three children was left upon the poor, semi-illiterate widow. They live on a small plot of land that they attempt to farm, though to little success. Before admission to AMCC, Victoria was at-risk of being forced into exploitative child labor or commercial sex, risking infection with HIV/AIDS. Victoria's dream is to become a journalist so that she can help her mother provide for her two sisters. She plans to do so only after graduating from a recognized university, whether local or abroad. Her favorite foods are rice and kale.

Hi Victoria! I hope everything is going well! How were the exams that you have taken so far? I know that you will do well. I hope you keep working towards your dream of being a journalist!
Dear School Fund,

I would like to make it known to you that I have not yet started doing the national examination (K.C.S.E) at the time of writing this. The subjects that I do are not yet according to the schedule, although I will begin on 26th October 2012 and end on 20th November 2012. Some schools have already started.

I am trusting in God and hoping for the best. I am hoping to attain a B+. May God bless you and do you good.
