Hello I'm Vicentia

Waiting for 5 months

I'm a 7 year-old girl and I live with my mother and father in Ghana.

My birthday is the 1st July.

I love drawing, group games and singing.

I'm in year 2, and my favourite subjects are Social Studies and Physical Education.

£32 per month will empower her to overcome poverty
