Please don't be concerned that some of the ages don't match up with where they are in school. One of the Girls' Home goals is to enable girls to go to school, with needed resources (from toilet paper, pencils and chalk for the teacher to mention just a few). Many have not attneded school reguelaly when they come to us.
We have 20 girls on the rolls right now so there will be more introductions.
