Vy lives with her family beside a lagoon. Their house doesn’t have electricity which makes it difficult for Vy to study at night. During the rainy season there are many storms that damage their house and affect Vy’s parents’ work as fishermen. The family struggles to get by and keep their kids in school.

Every day Vy rows the family’s boat to shore, excited to get to class. She loves going to school and making new friends. Her favourite subject is literature, and in her spare time she is always reading books and reviews.
