I am 18 years old and come from Amanuel Woreda. Before coming to HALF 4 years ago, I was working on the farmland to support my family. I spent most of the time on work and that has left me with no study time. After coming to the HALF project, I was able to focus on my school attentively and all my basic needs have been fulfilled . My grades are the top grades of all the schools in Debre Markos and the surrounding towns and I have been receiving recognition awards each year plus the University of Debre Markos offered me a full summer scholarship before my High School work has been completed. I am now on my last year of precollege where I am working hard to join the medical field in 2015. Thank you Help a Life Foundation for the opportunity and the continued support to help me achieve mine and all the other girls in the projects dreams.
