Dunkley, who is described as full of life, was injured following a gas explosion last Friday at her home in Burnt Savannah, St Elizabeth. While her desk at school is now empty, she is very much present in the minds of the teachers and her classmates. Currently, the young teen is admitted in serious condition at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) where she is receiving treatment.
