Alhaji Kamara

Country: Sierra Leone

My birthday is 2006-08-13

Status: Double Orphan

I want to be a soldier.

I enjoy playing football (soccer).

My favorite subject is social studies.

Alhaji lives with his grandmother who makes and sells alcohol. Alhaji’s father abandoned the family when he was 8 months old. After some time, Alhaji’s mother became very sick and was taken to the interior to be healed. Since then, Alhaji has stayed with his grandmother who is taking care of 8 other children. The country’s free education program allows Alhaji to attend school, but it is very challenging for his grandmother to provide food each day for all the children and provide school materials. Alhaji has been able to go to school constantly since being sponsored and his favorite subject is social studies. He wants to be a soldier in the future.
