Jackline - a sponsor child

This is my parent's sponsor-child, Jacqueline Mrosso, and I. Jacqueline has just joined the school - this is a photo of her in her new uniform. She's a really smiley child who is a little shy. She was born on 16th December 1999 so she will be 7 this year. She has one brother. Her father doesn't work as the shop he worked at was robbed so now he has no job. Her mother sells second hand clothes to earn money.

Her family live in a wood house with no windows. There are three rooms in the house which they share with another family. So they share a common living room and then have a bedroom for each family.

Jackline (also spelt Jacklin or Jacklini) is pretty smart. In many of her tests, she has gotten 100%. She wants to be doctor when she grows up! : )
