About

Salma's siblings include three sisters and one brother. Salma is most proud of her school, where the community is like one big family. Anytime someone is having difficulty, she knows that the teachers and older students are there to support each other. She is also glad to be in school and to be learning new things. Her favorite subjects are algebra, theatre, and art. Outside of classes, Salma enjoys playing basketball or solving math problems. In the future, Salma hopes to be able to help the people who are homeless and orphans in her country, since she believes that these people do not receive enough support.

It is really good to be part of Abaarso Family. Having a second home is like having more people to share ideas with. I love playing volleyball and basketball. I'm looking forward to create Girls' Volleyball and Basketball team in Somaliland. Being a 12 grader is challenging, but at the same time it is very useful. I'm looking forward to the day that I'll be graduating and getting one step forward to achieve what I have always dreamed about. One of the things I love about people in Abaarso is that they support one another, and that is what family is all about.

    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.
