"The widespread lack of education affects my society from every periphery. The vast majority of people are illiterate and only a few people are able to go to school. Financials are predicaments for many families and my family is no exception. My brother and I attend school and my uncle covered our school tuition and other family expenses. He always did his best. When my uncle died in 2010, the financial tragedy presented itself. Apart from his unfortunate death, my mother was struggling to find a way to pay our tuition. She informed my brother and I that one of us had to leave school; I was lucky and am still receiving education. I am studying now at Abaarso School and I have never given up so I won't let my family down. Abaarso has helped me proceed with my education and dreams."
