Serena Victoria is the eldest of three children. Her parents are both alive but live below the poverty line. Her father does odd jobs like digging in neighbors’ gardens or any simple work he can find. Her mother stays at home and manages the household.

Because of their limited income, the family struggles to provide enough for a comfortable life. Two of the daughters attend school, but their attendance often depends on whether the family can afford school supplies and fees. Serena Victoria and her sister Mary are eager to learn but sometimes have to stay home while their classmates go to school.

Serena Victoria is a bright and determined girl who dreams of becoming a doctor. With some assistance, she could continue her education and work toward making that dream come true.
