Hi, I'm Honalign
I'm a boy, 13 years old and live in Ethiopia.
Honalign is a hearing child but, his family is in a difficult position to address the child’s basic and educational material needs due to their poor economic status. The opening of Yesus Mena School for the deaf and the child’s enrollment in Holt’s sponsorship program helps him pursue the inclusive education that is being given at the deaf school.
He is healthy both mentally and physically, without any medical concern.
Honalign lives with his parents and Five siblings. He has two younger brothers and 3 older sisters. His father is a farmer and his family dwells on subsistence farming. His mother sells injera in the local market to earn additional income to sustain her family. They are striving to address their children’s basic and educational material needs due to their poor economic status. Nonetheless, his family strongly believes that education creates an opportunity for a better future in their children’s lives and should be pursued at any cost.
