Even though, at first glance, Sennu seems timid, once you get to know her you find that she is a joyful, confident girl with a love for other people. She can often be found talking with her friends or practicing her rhymes for school. Sennu dreams of one day becoming a nurse and helping the sick. Sennu's life has not been an easy one. Her father struggles with an alcohol addiction, and much of their money is spent on his drinking. Oftentimes, he does not even come home after work. Because the family is so poor, Sennu's mother sent her daughter to a children's home where she could be properly cared for. Sponsorship now gives Sennu access to things like a quality education, nutritious meals, and basic medical care.
