Abibatu lives with both of her parents who are woodcutters. Each day, they walk into the bush to cut firewood and sell it in their community. This business allows them to provide food for their family, but often they do not have enough income to keep Abibatu in school consistently. After paying some money to enroll her in the first term, she was eventually asked out of school until her parents can pay towards the balance. Abibatu loves being in school, but when asked to leave by the administrators for lack of payment, she feels ashamed and sad to not be with her schoolmates each day. But thanks to her sponsorship, she has been able to continue her education.
