Meet Natasha...

Natasha Chibuye is 12 years old and in the 5th grade. Natasha's father died before she was born and her mother died in 2006 from Tuberculosis. She has an older brother and 2 older sisters. After her mom died, Natasha and her siblings went to live with her mom's sister who was very harmful towards her and did not feed her. The Lord rescued Natasha and her siblings from that situation and they now live with another aunt and uncle. Although this is a much better situation, her aunt and uncle spend most of their time drunk, bitter and angry. Unfortunately, their destructive behavior and anger is usually taken out on Natasha and her siblings. Natasha is very tall and thin and suffers from daily stomach pains...most likely caused from malnourishment. Natasha loves school and enjoys learning new things. Her aunt and uncle pay for her school fees when they can. It makes Natasha very sad when her school fees are not paid and she cannot attend school. Her walk to school is 30 minutes each way, a fairly short walk compared to some of the other girls in my group (some of my girls have a 2 hour walk to and from school each day). Natasha would like to be a doctor when she grows up. She became a Christian last year at church...praise Jesus! She says that she knew it was God who delivered her from her horrible living situation after her mom died. Natasha enjoys singing, dancing and going to church....and as you can tell, she has a beautifully contagious smile! She is such a joy!
