Kyakuwa Rose Mary is the final girl from my community selected to attend Camp GLOW. Rose Mary always ducks her head and gives me a shy smile out of the corner of her mouth when I see her. She also stays at the home for disabled girls. Rose Mary is lame with club foot and I would guess her to have a form of cerebral palsy.Her English is pretty awful and she is in Primary 6. This is what Rose Mary has to say:
Regarding being a good citizen: “I follow the rules of my country. I love my country so much.”
Regarding advice to a ten-year-old sister: “Take time to education. By respect of elders. Love herself as a woman.”
Regarding why she wants to attend Camp GLOW: “But me want to learn good behaviors and good manners. I want to learn work in Camp GLOW for girls.”
*Kyakuwa Rose Mary wrote her responses exactly as they appear.
