My name is Rose. I am an eight year old girl from Kapedo, born in 2001. My mother died last year, 2012, from HIV as a result of a violent crime against my mother during the conflict with our neighboring tribe. My father died recently as well. I enjoy writing, speaking English and reading books. I like fruits, milk and game meat. I hope to become a teacher some day. I thank you for giving me hope and a future by helping with my education, food and clothing. Thank you for remembering us in Kapedo.

May you all be blessed for your contributions towards our daughters’ and sons’ future, God be with you.
