Joan has recently embarked on her educational journey and attends a government-aided primary school within the community. Her favorite subject is English, and she enjoys learning and interacting with her teachers and classmates. During her free time, Joan loves playing dodgeball with her friends and peers ,a game that brings her joy and helps her build friendships.
