Computer Lessons for a Future Doctor

UMU
Dear Casey, Sue, Sterling and Melinda, and Francois,

Umu lives with her parents, three brothers, four cousins, and two aunts in a three
bedroom house with electricity but no running water. Umu’s father, Abdul, is a driver and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of $60, which is not enough to cover the basic needs of the home. Umu’s mother, Adama, is a petty trader who sells cake. She uses her monthly income of $30 to help in taking care of the family.

Umu is nine years old, and is in class three blue at the FAWE primary school. Her favorite subjects are mathematics and religious moral education. Umu likes to read and cook at her leisure.

Umu’s goal is to become a medical doctor, and becoming computer literate will allow her to effectively practice medicine while improving the overall health sector of Sierra Leone when she completes her education. Thank you so much for giving her this opportunity!

The mosquito nets offer much relief from the threat of malaria. Thank you for the gift, Kanwar.
