“Agnes” by Sherry Berger

“Agnes may have come from Musita in Eastern Uganda, but her origin is not known. She is an orphan as both of her parents died of AIDS in the middle of her education. She was able to

complete senior four but she could not continue with her education due to poverty in her family. She came to the family as a shy girl who is always smiling and willing to help. Agnes is the first born in the family of five siblings. Due to the loss of their parents all the children dropped out of school. She hopes to study and help her siblings. Agnes loves to chat with friends, listen to music, and she is talented at making tablecloths. She loves having serious discussions and learning.”
