Christabel

Christabel is in her second year of high school and a science student with six sisters. She hopes to have a career in dentistry and philanthropy to support children from poor homes in her little village. Her father lost his job eight years ago and now periodically engages in ad hoc jobs while the mother sells second-hand clothing going door-to-door, a trade which barely earns her $30.00. Christabel misses home. If she visits, it’s another mouth to feed, and the family struggles enough to provide food for her immediate family. Already, she is scared she may not be able to complete her education to earn a living. But without education, Christabel has no chance of making it in today’s Ghana. All she hopes for is for a miracle to come her way. Could you be that miracle?
