single parents

Many of the parents are single parents. Some had divorced, some are just single with only children, some fathers had left their wives up-country and stays in town with the children.
There is a girl in mzesa academy who is staying with her father and the mother is up-country. The girl is in class four. This girl always goes to school without even applying jelly on her body. The teacher asked the girl why doesn't apply a jelly on her body; she said  that her father has never bought for her. This made the teacher to buy for her vaseline which she now apply and atleast looks smart as a girl. Surely sometimes its difficult for the  male parents to stay with the girls only in the house.
