Mary is a very passionate and cheerful girl. She recently finished primary school and scored 380/500 (above average) on her final exams! She spends most of her time at home looking after her 6-month old brother. Mary has taken on a lot of the work and responsibilities in her home since her father left unexpectedly 5 years ago. Her mother Alice, a teacher at the Living Positive Kenya Daycare Center, cares for Mary and her two siblings, including her brother Paul. They live together in the slum of Mathare in a small home constructed of iron-sheet walls and roof - the five of them share two beds. Mary's favorite subject is science and she hopes one day to become a doctor, more specifically a surgeon. She also loves to read, especially adventure stories. At 15 years old, Mary is without a doubt one of the most mature and hard working teenagers we have ever met. |
