Doreen is 12 years old and she's in grade four, Doreen lives with both her parents and other 10 house holds. She has a problem with her sight and she can not hear very well, she was born normal but this problem started when she was 8 years old and up to now her parents have not yet been in position to take her for the right treatment due to lack of funds. Her parents are both peasant farmers and managing all the needs of the big family is very hard. To supplement on the income of the family Doreen's father digs for the people in the community and also sends the children to go and hawk some vegetables in the community. This is how he manages to get some of school requirements and some times he fails. Doreen would like to become a nurse or a dancer in future, she loves dancing and telling stories.
