“Hello, my name is Naomi and I’m 13 years old. I live with my mom, dad, and three siblings. But things at home aren’t always easy. My little sister and I have a different father than our older siblings, and this causes tension – especially for my mom and big sister. My parents do small jobs, but it’s never enough – especially for school fees.
I love school – especially the competitions! I enjoy showing what I can do. In my free time, I read, tell jokes, and make my friends laugh. I dream of becoming an actress because it makes me happy and helps me forget what’s bothering me. Pink is my favorite color – it’s bright and stands out, just like me on stage! I love what I do, and I’m grateful my parents encouraged me to believe in myself. I hope I can stay in school. A sponsorship would help me build my future and live my dream.”
