Thursday, September 10th, 2009 - 11:33:37 AM

Fidakwa lost both of her parents at the age of 10.  She was abducted at 13 and later abandoned by her husband and left with twin babies at age 15.  Thanks to a Batonga scholarship, she is now attending a private medical college where she is studying to be a laboratory technician.  She is in her third year of school with excellent grades and expects to graduate this year.
