Meet Edwina, who has been generously sponsored by Erika Klahn. She is 11 years old and in kindergarten-1 this year. Edwina lives in Sanniquellie, Liberia with her grandmother. When Edwina was about 3 years old, she was given to her aunt to be raised because as her mother could not afford to support her. Unfortunately, the aunt too had a lot of children of her own and could not afford to send Edwina to school. When Edwina’s grandmother found out that she was not going to school, she took Edwina from her aunt with the intention of enrolling her in school. However, the grandmother too is now unemployed and couldn’t afford to send her. Edwina’s interests are helping her grandmother to cook, and she hopes to be a teacher when she grows up.
