Both of Elibariki’s parents are unemployed, and in his final years at Moita School, the headteacher was supporting him financially to complete his secondary education. He has one sister, Nembris, who was in Standard Six at primary school in 2013. His twin brother is at home, and without an education – he did start secondary school, but now cannot afford the fees. He has an older brother who is married. He wants to go to High School, and his ambition is to be a doctor. His favourite subject is English. His teachers predict that he will get the necessary examination results to be offered a place at High School to study A’ Levels, but they would not be able to support him if this was to happen.

The good news is that should Elibariki get the necessary results in the National Examinations at the end of 2013 he will be sponsored through his A’ Level studies by Mike & Mandy Burns and their daughter Sophie (a former Acklam Grange School pupil). Our sincere thanks go to Mike, Mandy & Sophie, and our fingers are crossed that Elibariki gets the neccessary grades.
