The Girls
While the pandemic has caused disruptions in the girls' everyday routines which naturally has caused some stress, all the girls remain safe and healthy. Margaret and Sophie are in daily contact with all the girls and are taking good care of the 10 that remain at Hekima Place. While school is not currently meeting, lessons are broadcast via television for students and many receive work via Whatsapp directly from their teachers.
