She, Ethiopia

When one member of the community is educated, they teach the rest of us, creating a ripple effect of shared learning.

 

I have four wives, 27 children and many grandchildren, and although I feel regret that I had no access to modern education when I was younger, I am happy for the opportunity for all of my children to go to school. Some of them are even going to university and working abroad.

 

I am committed to teaching them my knowledge and them teaching me theirs, and their children in the future, which fills me with happiness, positivity and love.
