I am a teacher in a South African school where there’s a learner called Mary. She is an AIDS orphan (whose Parents both died of HIV/AIDS complications). She is the head of the house hold where she is forced to look after her siblings (a brother and a young sister). They struggle to survive on their own‚ and often go to bed hungry.
