My name is Ferdous, and I am currently studying at abroad as an exchange student. I am staying with a host family who has a four year old daughter. So far, I have had experienced many things, whether it was trying new things, for example, skiing, sledding, snowshoes hiking and joining the rock climbing team. One of the things I enjoy doing so far is having conversations with people about my country. By doing that, I notice I could teach many people about what Somaliland is, my culture and my religion and at the same time learn about theirs too.

    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.
