Waliepaw



Name: Waliepaw
Age: 14
Birthday: 10/21
Grade: 9th
Hobbies: Reading and playing with her friends
Favorite Subject: English
Future Plans: She wants to become a teacher
Special Notes: Waliepaw comes from one of the poorest families in her village. She grew up malnourished and with a mother that was very sick her entire childhood. Because of the lack of nutrition Waliepaw’s growth has been stunted and she looks more like she is 8 or 9 than 14. But she is a very sweet, hard working and smart little girl. She does well in school and when she laughs she does it with her whole heart. You can’t help but laugh too when you see her laugh. She has such joy and hope for the future.
