Dear Fadumo,

I recently received an email that you graduated-- which makes me so happy! Several years ago, when I was also back in 10th grade, my close friends and I cam across Abaarso School. Looking into it, we found your story so inspiring and tried to help as best we could.

I am now a college student studying engineering, passionate about math and science just like you talk about. I am so glad I have received information about your graduation. While we don't formerly know one another, I am still so happy for you!

Keep learning! Keep dreaming!

This year was a very successful year because I achieved a lot of things that I was hoping to achieve. In the school we had a lot of new things like the elective classes. In those classes students get to choose the classes they want to join. I choose engineering, because I love anything that relates with math and engineering was the only option. In the future I would like to be an engineer, so this was another reason that i choose engineering. One activity that I do in the school and I really enjoy doing it is going to the orphanage were orphan kids live. In there I teach the kids math to give them the same opportunity I have and I really enjoy teaching them what I have learned earlier.

    Matata

    Kenya

    Matata is a daring young boy who believes that success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. He is the last born in a family of four. His parents are unemployed and largely depend on subsistence farming, which has been negatively affected by frequent severe droughts. Most of the rural roads in his village are very impassable and this has pushed him towards achieving his dream of becoming an engineer. Since Matata was a young boy, he has always liked playing football not only at home but also in school and he was the goalkeeper for his school team.
