I was born and grew up in Burao. I've been looking forward to learn computers more and better, since Burao doesn't have computer schools and I was so lucky to get to Abaarso which I'm proud of. In the future I'm looking forward to be an engineer and work with the technology, since the world is being more and more close to the technology.

My lovely payer I appreciate your support for me to be educated and I will never forget your help. It is true that I don't know you or saw you, but all I know is that you're a person who has a big heart. My name is Zainab, I'm currently in the 9th grade. My favourite subject is history because I like learning things that happened in the past. It is fun to learn things they used to do in real life. I come from a big family, and l have 12 siblings including me. Three of them are boys and 9 sisters. I like how my family supports us to go to schools, that is what tempted me to study and work hard. I like to read more because it increases my reading level.
