Malaika is a timid yet comical three year old and her brother is John Smith who is also looking for a sponsor. She lives with her mother, two sisters, and three brothers in the village of Galette Chambon. His mother is a vendor at the local market. She struggles to make ends meet with the small income she makes at market. She was able to pay registration to get her kids started in school, but she has not been able to afford to continue paying tuition. Malaika really needs a sponsor if she is to continue in school. Malaika enjoys going to church and playing with her siblings. Her favorite thing about school is singing songs and learning through rhymes. When she grows up, she wants to be a nurse.
