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.

    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.
