Matina's Story

By Margaret Reynolds | Journal Entry- Matina

Matina

Matina was everywhere. I would go to the health center, and there she was with a sister or a brother to greet me. I would go to the school, and she would be fetching water, and she would come to greet me. I would go to the market, and she would be there. I would walk back home. Of course, there she was. Matina became one of my favorite students. She was always smiling and she was always going out of her way to greet me. The sister told me that she struggles very much in school. Fortunately, she has received one of our nets, and she is using it. She is staying healthy and she is studying hard. I hope that Matina will have the opportunity to stay in school and to go to college. Such opportunities are rare for those in Katulikire, but for someone as personable as Matina I hope that her great personality, and ability to work hard provide her with the opportunity! For now, she is safe from malaria and in a great school. She is one of the best off girls in the village.
