Agnes is in Form 3.  She's bright and friendly.  Her brother also resides at Bright Star.

Alice had just completed the 8th grade national exam.  We hope she will be admitted into secondary school.

Amida had just completed the 8th grade national exam.  It's quite stressful for the kids.  If they don't pass, their education ends.

Benjamin is a mature young man and quite cheerful for all he's been through.

It was tough to get Pauline to smile.
