Shaban H.
Location: Nyamirambo, Rwanda
Age: 12
Hobbies: dance
Sponsorship need: Secondary School ($1000)
When he grows up, Shaban wants to protect the peace as a Rwandan soldier.
12-year-old Shaban faced difficult social issues before joining MindLeaps. Unable to communicate maturely, Shaban often resorted to fighting as a means of communication. Now, he is much more disciplined and shows more maturity, even when he is upset. At home, he lives with both parents and two sisters. However, his dad does not work, leaving his mother to earn all of the household income working as a vegetable seller. Only Shaban and one of his sisters are in school because his mother can’t afford school fees for all three of her children. Shaban used to have difficulty reading, but since MindLeaps, he is no longer struggling with reading. He is motivated to learn and he is among the top students at MindLeaps Rwanda. Shaban loves learning dance--Rwandan dance especially.
Shaban is being sponsored in school by Stefanie Boffoli.
