Country: Sierra Leone

My birthday is 2016-08-04

Status: Vulnerable Child

I want to be an engineer.

I enjoy playing football (soccer).

My favorite subject is physical education.

Abdulai lives with both parents and his 2 siblings. His father grows vegetables in the nearby swamp, and his mother is a petty trader. While they are able to send Abdulai to school, they do not have enough to pay his school fees at the start of the year. Abdulai is sent home each time a payment is due, and he misses school until his parents can find the money to make a payment. This causes lapses, and it makes Abdulai feel ashamed. Abdulai is in Class 1. His favorite subject is PE, and he wants to be an engineer when he grows up. Abdulai loves playing football with his friends. His favorite food is rice and potato leaves.
