Name: Gloria Alele 
Tribe: Langi
DOB: 10/11/2004
School/Level: Not in school – she is still too young!
Her story...
Gloria is the third born child of Betty, a young mother who had her first child at the age of 13. Gloria's other siblings are Rebecca and Caesar. The children and their young mother are all staying at the El-Shadai home. Betty is trying to improve her situation by taking tailoring and design classes. Gloria's father does not recognize her as his child.
Interests and Hobbies...
Gloria is good at imitating older children and is very quick at learning new words. She has great pronunciation of English words.
Future plans...
She wants to join all of her brothers and sisters in school and start her education.
Notes:
Gloria and her older brother were rejected by their father who denied he was their father.
Their mother will not marry the father. She is going to study tailoring and clothing design to help support her children.
Child Financial Needs:
The Ugandan government does not offer free education at any level. Before coming to the home, many of the children had been forced to drop out of school because they were unable to pay the fees. El-Shadai Family Foster Home believes that all children should have an education and a safe, loving environment where all of their basic needs are met.
School Fee Breakdown
Gloria will be starting Nursery school in 2008. We hope to find a sponsor for her before then.
