Beverlyne’s parents died of HIV/AIDS. She has 2 sisters and one brother. She said she did not know her parents well because they died when she was very young. She was living with her brother and eldest sister while her other sister, Leah, was living with her aunt. Beverlyne joined HOREC with her sister, Leah, in January 2007. They were brought to HOREC by her eldest sister so they could continue their education. Beverlyne wants to be able to help her family in the future. She loves when visitors come to HOREC. She hopes to score high on her KCPE exam next year so she can attend a good high school. She would also like to study and live in the U.S. She feels that HOREC has helped her so much. She said some children with parents do not have anything to eat and cannot go to school, but she has both food and an education.

Beverlyne is a very sensitive girl who has a beautiful smile. At HOREC, she helps with the laundry, washing dishes and preparing meals. She also helps to take care of the younger children, especially Kaleche (Faith). She loves to read, write and sing. She is ranked 5th in her class at school. She is best friends with Josephine Mwende.

In her composition “About Me,” she wrote that she is wonderfully made by God. How, how true! I just adore her!
