Heart of Amazima: Meet Betty

blog-11-13-betty

If you met Betty, you might consider her to be timid and shy, but after spending time with her, you’d soon change your mind. While Betty can be shy at first, she actually is quite talkative once she gets to know you.

Betty grew up on a homestead (two small huts on the same plot of land) in the village of Butema with her grandma, stepmom, sister, and other family members. She often helped her grandma, but now that her grandma has passed, she spends her time as her stepmoms house and she is very close to her sister Esther.

Betty is playful, yet respectful, and dreams of being a nurse in the future so she can, “give injections to little children to keep them healthy.”
