“Eunice” by Jennifer Barrile

“Eunice is 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. Eunice was ignored and neglected when she was young. Stephen heard of the situation and took her into the El-Shadai home. Her parents agreed to allow Eunice and her brother Rogers to go. Later, their sisters, Tabitha and Agnes (Toffee) came.

She is a very social and hardworking girl and a very bright student. She loves to sing and play netball. She dislikes seeing people fighting or witnessing any kind of abuse, probably due to what she saw at home when she was younger. Because of her change in environment, she is now able to use her gifts and focus on her education.”
