Faustina

Faustina is from a large family and in her second year of high school. Faustina dreams of becoming a motivational speaker some day and to mentor other kids with similar fates as she. Though brilliant, the economic hardships the family is going through had made an otherwise cheerful and outgoing girl reserved and timid with a negative outlook about her future. With the father not working and the mother with an unstable trade as a “hawker” of second hand goods, the children of six will have to take turns to complete high school and may be tertiary as well. Should Faustina and her sister Christabel even succeed in completing high school, without any assistance, they will have to wait for their two senior sisters who completed some years back to complete tertiary education before they can also attend. This is too demoralizing for such a young mind and young shoulders.
