Team 4 member Emily (a high school student at the time) fell head over heels for young
Claire Faith. The two girls began corresponding, and when it was time for
Claire Faith to go to Secondary School, Emily and her family stepped up to the
plate to provide assistance. This family works hard for every dollar it contributes toward Claire Faith’s
education, but they are committed to standing by this little dynamo for the
duration of her education. Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Claire Faith knows
what it is like to fall in love.

Emily
wrote the following about her little "sister":
"Claire Faith, a P6 student was
quiet, yet sassy in her quick eye rolls and hidden smiles. The very first day,
she took on the role as my photographer and guide, documenting her classmates
in their most natural and posed positions and leading me by hand around the SMK
grounds. With quiet moments and many jokes throughout the week, Claire Faith
and I became inseparable.
But the moment I realized we would be
bound together for much longer than the trip was one day after we had returned
from the lake and Claire Faith was trying to fix my broken camera. She worked
so hard even after I had given up and told her it was okay. She finally
surrendered and asked for my phone so she could play ‘Bug Crusher’ some more.
Lying on her stomach on my bed with her petite feet swinging in the air, she
beat my high score and simply looked up at me with her sly grin, saying, ‘You
have a lot to learn from me’. She had no idea how right she was.”
