It is mandatory by the laws of the Ethiopian government that all children must attend school but still some students drop out. When this happens, the teachers will go round the local village to find them and support them to return. Some families cannot afford the indirect costs of books, uniforms and so on. If this is the case, the people in my community all contribute. It inspires me to want to do the same thing and help others. My hope for the future is to become a doctor, so I can assist my parents and my local community.
