Juliet

Hello,

Juliet when she first
entered HardtHaven

My name is Juliet. I am thirteen years old. I come from Nkunya Astere in the Volta region of Ghana. My parents are Opari Francis and Vusu Sterla. I am short and dark in complexion. My birthday is 11th of August .

I came to HardtHaven children’s home on the of 25th of June 2007. My favorite food is Fufu and light soup with chicken meat. I also like apples, oranges, bananas and egg with pepe.

I attend Gabi District assembly primary school. I am behind in school because it is hard for me to see very much. My favorite subject is English. I know my ABCs and numbers and I like to surprise volunteers because I speak English well but I don’t say that I know it well.

When I grow up I want to be a nurse. This is because I want to be able to help people when they are sick. When I am in the home I like to practice my ABCs with the volunteers. I also like to help Tassi in the kitchen. I am learning how to ride the bike, Lebene has been helping me learn. I like to tease the volunteers by sneaking up behind them and covering their eyes, I only let go if they can guess it is me.
