Hi, I'm Selam
I'm a girl, 16 years old and live in Ethiopia.
There is no access to special need education where the child is from and there is also limited awareness about deafness. The opening of Yesus Mena School for the deaf and the child’s enrollment in Holt’s sponsorship program helps her pursue her education. Selam is a total deaf child but she is healthy both mentally and physically. Selam lives with her both parents with a family size of 10 from which 4 brothers and 3 sisters. She was born deaf. Her family strongly believes that education creates an opportunity for a better future in their child’s life.
