Hujambo I'm Avelina

That's hello in Swahili

Waiting for 11 months

I'm a 2 year-old girl and I live with my mother and father in Tanzania.

My birthday is the 5th October.

I love ball games, jumping and jump rope.

I' m too young to attend school, so I participate in Home Based Compassion programme activities.

£32 per month will empower her to overcome poverty
