My Story:
Hi everyone, my name is Magarete. I have big beautiful brown eyes. I love to smile and laugh. If you give me a lollypop, I will do my best to hold your hand. I love school and attend the King George school! Since I really like school and I get frustrated when I am not feeling good enough to go.
I am always laughing! I am in a wheelchair so caretakers take me outside to watch all the children play. I like the warmth of the sun, so when I can I hang out outside. I also watch videos on the T.V. at Joel's Place. Dinner time is really fun, the older kids help me eat. My favorite meal is rice and chicken. I also love sadza with milk. Come visit me and I'll giggle with you!
See ya! Margarete
