Ruki
Ruki
Ruki and her older sister were abandoned by their parents. The two girls were living on their own in a mud hut for many months. The neighbors gave them food but no other care. Ruki's only caregiver during this time was her five-year-old sister, Irene. Ruki is a very bright little girl. She has made all A's and B's in all her subjects, and now again despite the big learning curve of Grade 4 she made all A's and B's! She is attentive and polite in class and at home. She works hard and does her homework well. Ruki is able to know that with a bit more effort in Grade 4 she has good results. Ruki will do well as she continues to progress in school.
