About

Ferdous has three sisters and four brothers. Ferdous is most proud of attending our school and learning English. Over the years, Ferdous has improved her English abilities, as well as her math skills. With her improved English skills, she has read The Outsiders and The Alchemist, which are her favorite books. Her favorite classes are Geometry and History. In the future, Ferdous hopes to be able to help those in her country who cannot afford to go to school attend so that they can receive an education, which Ferdous believes to be important for the development of her country.

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.

    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.
