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!

--Ryan
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.

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
