Florence

Florence is a 9 year old girl who lives in Masese, Uganda with her grandmother. She is an orphan that was dumped with her grandmother when she was 8 months old and very sick, but her grandma willingly took her in and loved her as if Florence was her own. Florence has an intellectual disability and limited speech. She did not walk until she was four years old and did not talk until she was five years old. Florence never attended school before Obwaagazi Academy. Her favourite food is rice and she loves to play with dolls, and sing and dance with her friends.
