MAXMILLA KASANDI is an orphan and was once an abused housegirl. She is now in Form 2. This is her testimony: "Whenever I did things the wrong way, the woman I was staying with used to beat me up so badly. My body is full of marks of her brutality; this mark on my shoulder is a healing wound where she bit me last month for waking up late. Yes, I was once an abused house girl, but with God’s mercy, one Good Samaritan called Ann came at our place one day and found me carrying water and tears falling from my eyes. When she asked me what my problem was, I told her I had no hope of going to school. She told me there was an Orphans centre where children like you can are assisted. The following day, Ann took me to Bahati Community Centre. I was so desperate, but now I am full of hope. Bahati Community Centre has changed me from a hopeless desperate housegirl to a happy smiling Form 2 school girl... now I have hope...I would like to become a doctor and help orphans to live a better life in future. My hobbies are reading, telling stories, and singing Gospel songs. "
