“Gloria” by Jennifer Prough

“Gloria is the third born of Betty, a young mother who had her first child at the age of 13. Gloria’s other siblings are Rebecca and Ceasar. The children and their young mother are all staying at the El-Shadai home. Betty is trying to improve her situation by taking tailoring and design classes. Gloria’s father does not recognize her as his child.

Gloria is good at imitating older children and is very quick at learning new words and has a great pronunciation of English words. She wants to join all of her brothers and sisters in school and start her education.” ~ Gloria’s Story from El-Shadai Home, 2007
