Ntombenhle was a kind Grade 5 girl. Her name meant beautiful girl. She lived near her school and came from a loving, generous family.

She was the eldest of two children and always tried her best.

After school, Ntombenhle took off her uniform and washed it. She ate her lunch, did her homework, and called her friends to play.

Her kind mom made sandwiches and juice. They laughed, played, and helped each other with schoolwork.

Ntombenhle shared her lunch with children who had none. She gave away old clothes and her uniform to those in need. Helping others made her happy.

Everyone loved her kind heart and wanted to be in her presence.

One day, Ntombenhle asked her mom to help plant vegetables. They grew carrots, spinach, and tomatoes.

When the garden was ready, they used the food to cook meals for hungry children in their community.

The soup kitchen became popular. More children came each week. Ntombenhle's mom got village women to help.

University students joined, too. They helped children with homework after meals.

Ntombenhle was given a trophy at school for her good work. She and her friends started a reading club.

They read books, told stories, and acted them out at school. Many children joined and learned to love reading.

Because of Ntombenhle, bullying at school decreased. Children felt safe, happy, and cared for. Many became kind and responsible.

Everyone said, "I want to be like Ntombenhle!" She was a true role model.

The community named the centre Ntombenhle Care Centre. It became a safe place to eat, learn, and play.

Ntombenhle showed that one kind child can make a big difference with love, courage, and a caring heart.
