Vanesa is 9 years old in grade 3 living with her aunt after the separation of her parents. Ever since the parents separated none of them has ever come to check on Vanesa, her aunt hawks fruits as a source of income and sells some of the garden produce to supplement her income. Vanesa's aunt is taking care of other 5 children and their needs are overwhelming her due to low income that she gets from the sales. Vanesa performs well in class and she would like to become a teacher when she grows up. Vanesa has the ability to perform even better if could attend regularly, but her aunt's inability to pay on time affects her and she ends up missing out some lessons.
