Despite financial challenges, her father works to provide for their basic needs of food, water, and shelter. Together, they find joy in simple pleasures like listening to the radio.
As the firstborn and only girl in the family, Joy feels a deep sense of responsibility to reciprocate her family’s love and support. She dreams of becoming a doctor to help alleviate the suffering of others. Drawing is her talent, and she finds solace and expression through creating colorful artwork, often using her favorite color, red.
Joy’s bravery extends beyond her artwork to activities like swimming, which she embraces with courage. In her free time, she enjoys reading storybooks and novels, finding companionship in friendly dogs, and playing games like hide and seek with her friend Moraa.
Her class teacher holds a special place in Joy’s heart for her excellent instruction in mathematics and hygiene. Despite her passion for education and dreams of becoming a doctor, financial constraints threaten to derail Joy’s aspirations. Nevertheless, she remains determined to pursue her dreams through hard work and perseverance, holding onto the belief that education is the key to unlocking her future.
