This is Aina. She is very quiet and shy, but has a sweet smile. She is very tall and skinny, which means she probably has not had enough to eat. Having some meat on your bones is considered a good thing. Elizabeth has reason to believe that her mother died not too long ago and that she is grieving the death of her mother--most likely because of aids. Her father is also dead. She is an orphan, but has family members in the north. She is from the Bush people. Because there is a break in school, the girls will be going home to their families for a month. She will return to the bush where there is no running water or electricity. Before coming to the girls hostel, she had never used a shower. She didn't know what it was. Aina is in the 11th grade and has endured much in her life. Will you pray for her?
