“Agnes” by Donna Mackey

“Agnes known as Toffee is Eunice’s younger sister. Like her sister, she is a needy child that came from a remote village in the Iganga District. Her father is retired and an alcoholic who does not take care of her welfare or education. Her mother doesn’t work so they have no means to support their six children. The children were ignored and neglected when they were young. Stephen heard of the situation and took the children into the El-Shadai home (siblings Eunice, Rogers and Tabitha). Toffee is a reserved girl, but shows affection to her siblings and volunteers at the home. She has been sick from various illnesses and it has affected her schooling. She has been at the home only since 2006 and shows a lot of potential to improve academically and socially. Toffee would like to be a teacher when she grows up.”
