My name is Snit Tewoldemedhin. I was born and raised in Eritrea. I have been living in the United States for four years as of this February. Currently, I am a 24-year-old senior Neuroscience student at George Mason University, as well as a co-lead guide in a Montessori school.
My passion for this cause stems from my 16-year-old younger sister, who is on the Down syndrome spectrum. Despite her inherent potential and unique talents, she has not received the educational opportunities that would enable her to thrive. I strongly believe that quality education is a fundamental right for everyone, including children like my sister.
This is a special appeal for your help to bridge the gap in special education resources for children with disabilities in Africa. Your contribution can help us develop the tools and resources they need to reach their full potential. Children with disabilities deserve our support.
Your contribution can help us bridge the education gap for special needs children.
