About After Hellen’s parents separated, she and her younger sister went to live with their grandparents at their home. Her grandparents are old and hence are not able to do much work apart from a little farming they engage in order to provide food for their grandchildren. Getting school fees for Hellen and his little sister is challenging as the little money her grandparents get is not able to fully pay their school fees and at times Hellen is sent back home from school due to not having completed paying her school fees in time. Her desire is to continue with her education uninterruptedly and achieve her dream of becoming a surgeon in future. She loves her grandparents and desires not to see them struggle. She promises to work hard in school and not to disappoint her sponsor.
