Ayola lives with her aunt in a small, secluded village, Ngqolowa. She describes her community as a pleasant place to live where there are no problems and many talented children. She also describes her family as supportive. Even when there are misunderstandings, they work to fix them. Ayola's mother is in another province looking for work. Her siblings stay with another aunt in the same village. She describes herself as a short, light-skinned girl who is smart. She likes when people respect each other. She likes to make others smile and laugh and feel welcome. Ayola lives at Intlantsi Christian School in Fort White, South Africa during the week and goes home to her village on the weekend.
