Chatreah

Chatreah, 15 years, is the oldest girl of Bykota House. Her education was delayed, but now she is a strong sixth-grader. Because of intense poverty, her family decided that Chatreah and her younger brother would be placed at a provincial orphanage. The two children were told to be strong and to not cry. When it came time for the family to leave, Chatreah's brother couldn't help but cry. The family relented and took him back home. What Chatreah remembers is that because she didn't cry, she has never seen her family again.
