Remember little Debora, who was in Joy and Sister Phil's first English class? Theresa knows that Sister Phil would be overjoyed to see her now that she has grown so big. She is now in Grade Three at Chiluba Primary school in Lubuto. She no longer sucks her thumb, as she used to do when she was three years old. Debora lives with her grandmother (Younger Foster), her mum, aunties, and an uncle.

The grandmother does odd jobs like washing peoples clothes around Lubuto, while his older brother goes out each day to Masala market to do pieces of work like carrying loads for people.

Joy and his friends after playing football. The boys like to hang around Living Compassion. Tests are going on at their schools and the children come here as early as 0900hrs, just after finishing writing.

Ruth preparing veggies. After her mother passed away years ago, she has grown up taking care of her siblings and taking them to school. She misses her mother but is happy that life has been made easy because she has a family to look to and they encourage her every day. She says the Living Compassion team is her pillar as she goes on each day taking care of her brothers and sisters.
