When Faith is of age she would like to be a News anchor. Faith enjoys skipping rope and also helps with house chores. Her favorite color is pink. She loves being in school but she is not able to since her parents are not able to consistently keep her and her siblings in school as well as cater to other family needs.

Faith’s parents are hopeful and believe that if she gets the support she will successfully complete her studies and achieve her goals.
