Tidiness Counts – Door of Hope

Dear Ron,

Adama lives with her parents, two sisters and three brothers in a two bedroom apartment with electricity but no running water in Sierra Leone. Her father Alhaji is a mason and the main provider of their home with a monthly income of $60. Her mother Sento, who is a petty trader that sells leafy vegetables, works for a monthly income of $30 to help provide for their home. Together their $90 a month is not enough to cover their family’s basic needs.

Adama attends the Police primary school and is in class five; her favorite subject is Mathematics and she wants to be a banker when she grows up.

Adama used to go to school very untidy because of the age and condition of the uniform she was using. She is very thankful to you Ron for her new uniform and a pair of shoes which allow her to attend school with confidence!
