Emmanuella, is a 16 year old girl and a freshman at Notre Dame Girls High School. She is the oldest of six siblings. The death of her father in January 2012 meant that their mother who is unskilled and unemployed had the sole responsibility to support the children. It was a situation that the poor single mother could barely manage on her own. Helping Emmanuella get through high school and college will be a great inspiration and incentive to finish her education so she can help her mother take care of her siblings by the time they are ready for school.
