Hi! I'm a 6-year-old girl living in Leka Dulecha, a beautiful rural part of Ethiopia. I have a big family, with one sister and three brothers. My favourite thing to learn about at school is our national languages, it's fun! When school is over, I like to do my part to help out my family by carrying water. Oh, and I really love to run, it makes me feel free and happy!

Life isn't always easy here though. Our school isn’t the best and it's hard to get clean water and proper care when we sickness hits. But with the help from kind people who sponsor children like me, things are getting better. Their support is helping our community learn how to grow veggies, take care of livestock, and even start our own businesses. I'm so thankful for this help, it's making my home a better place for everyone. So even though things are tough, I like to keep a positive attitude because I know I am growing up strong and capable!
