Personal Bio: Mercy stays with all her parents and other 15 siblings. Being many in the family, they are un able to all the basic needs like clothes, food and others. Their family is so big but with little resources to cater for them. The father works as a cook at school but the salary he receives isn’t much to cater for all the 15 siblings. The mother has no job and she goes working for daily food in the people’s plantations for a daily basis. She began her education in this school in the mercies of the school director. She is now in middle class and one of the best performers in that class. She sometimes misses school due to illness since the father sometimes fails to take them to the hospital for medication. Due to poor feeding at home, they are always having a challenge of stomachache. She lacks books, pencils, colors and enough clothes and beddings at home.
