Gift, a determined 13-year-old fifth grader, lives with her biological father and stepmother after her mother left under uncertain circumstances. Her family depends on peasant farming, but limited earnings due to bad weather and poor yields make it difficult to provide for basic needs and education.
This financial instability has also prevented Gift from receiving proper treatment for her persistent and painful skin rashes. Despite these hardships, she continues to excel academically and holds onto her dream of becoming a teacher. With the right support, she can overcome obstacles and work toward a brighter future for herself and her community.
