Twelve year old Jenny Lives in a very poor barangay in Northern Cebu. Her father is a seasonal farmer. Her mother works as a house helper in Cebu City leaving Jenny and other siblings with their father and grandmother.

As the eldest among four siblings, Jenny helps earn for the family by weaving abaca twines with her grandmother. For every 120-feet roll of abaca twine Jenny earns 4 pesos. Jenny can finish about 5 rolls a day for 20 pesos. With the high prices of food, Jenny’s daily effort is barely enough to buy a kilo of rice.

“Manginuha lang ko ron pag-ayo aron makaskwela ko. Ang akong pangandoy inig dako nako makatabang unta ko sa akong pamilya para dili na manabraho si nanay sa syudad,” ( I really hope I can go back to school this coming school year so I can finish my studies. I want to help my family so that mother won’t have to leave and work in the city) Jenny says.

Despite their situation, Jenny is determined to finish school and become a nurse someday so that she can help her family rise out from poverty.
