Awio Jeremiah
Jeremiah lives with his grandmother, who is a peasant farmer. His father was a soldier who died in battle against the rebels. His mother abandoned him. The grandmother, who has high blood pressure, takes care of Jeremiah, his sister, and three other orphans. Jeremiah is a bright student, but his grades are average because he misses many of his lessons due to illness. His sinuses are not healthy. He helps out by fetching water, and his grandmother sends him to buy things. He told us many things he enjoys doing, including singing in the Sunday school choir, drawing, writing, playing hide and seek, and playing futbol. He hope to become a policeman. |
