Vitamins for a Growing Girl

MAHAWA
Dear Kelli, marijane, and Stephanie,

Mahawa lives in the Wellington community of Freetown, Sierra Leone in a single bedroom apartment zinc sheet home with no running water and no electricity. She extends her thanks and appreciation for the vitamins given to her.

Her father is a petty trader and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $60, which is not enough to cover the basic family needs. Her mother is also a petty trader who supports her husband in taking care of the home. Mahawa does most of the domestic work when her parents have gone to trade.

Mahawa attends the Wellington Orphanage Primary School and is in class five. She is eleven years of age. She enjoys Mathematics and wants to be a banker when she grows up.

Thank you, Kelli, Marijane and Stephanie. The vitamins provide nourishment for a growing girl.
