Akkam I'm Mikiyas

That's hello in Oromiffa

Waiting for 10 months

I'm a 6 year-old boy and I live with my mother and father in Ethiopia.

My birthday is the 13th February.

I love drawing, ball games, cycling and clapping hands to rhythm.

I'm in year 3, and my favourite subject is Science.

£32 per month will empower him to overcome poverty
