Hello GlobalGiving partners. My name is Oumou. I am 22 years old and I’m in my final year at the Lycee Moderne de l’Amitie (LMA) in northern Burkina Faso. I come from a village 45 kilometers from the LMA and I stay in a nearby town. The school lunch canteen is a life saver for me and for other girls like me who walk six kilometers to and from school every day. It’s hard, especially now when the temperature is 45 degrees centigrade (113 fahrenheit).
Following my graduation, I hope to study environmental sciences at the university. My goal in life is to contribute however I can to the reduction of the advancement of the desert, the restoration of vegetation and the recovery of the quality of soil.
My most sincere gratitude and thanks for your support for our school canteen. It makes our efforts and successes possible!
