I was born on XXX12, 1987 (Eth Calendar) in east Gojam in the district of Machabel.
I lost my mother in 1999 (Eth Colanders). As a result I couldnt continue my education. Since I was the only girl in the family, I was given the entire household responsibilities. Even though I had a lot of work at home I still went to school but could not retain much. My grades started to slide down. When I entered 4th grade, I decided to do less of the house work and focus on my school and did well up to grade 8th. I couldnt go to high school as my family was poor.
As I was thinking on how to solve the problem, I heard of an opportunity to register for Help a Life Foundation for orphan kids. I was lucky enough to get selected and went to Debre Markos. Now, I have food, shelter and clothing. I am also studying hard so I can be an example to others. I would like to thank the foundation for giving me this opportunity to have a good life.
