She comes from a poor family who cannot raise money to cater for her school. Juhudi through this project and your help restore her hope again and he returned back to school. She is a bright student who always do well and appear in top ten position in their class of 80 students.

She shared her joy with us here. "Am very happy now after getting this support of paying my fees so that I can pursue my dream. I promise to do my best and pursue my career in medicine and help other girls who are facing same problem like me. Thank you Juhudi for being kind to me and believing in me.
