"I
go by the name Asha
Adam from Sudan. I was born in western, Sudan, in a beautiful village
called Bare
Korobo in Morenge. At age 11, I was a refugee in Kakuma Refugee Camp,
Kenya
for eight years. I went to Catalina Magnet High and studied hard after
missing years of my education as a senior. I am the first girl
generation to go to college. I have a dream of being a pilot,
lawyer or working as a social worker. I love to work with the refugees
like
Barbara whose work inspired me. ISKASHITAA helped me with several scholarships." Asha Adam, Sudan.

Count Down: 11 Days left to reach our goal of $30,000 in AZ Gives Day.
"Iskashitaa found a job for my daughter and for me. They found a job for me as a security guard. Now I want to give back to Iskashitaa. That is why I am here today. I will help them with their harvest today." Hamed Akar, Iraq
"Then Iskashitaa came, and I thought, finally, the one I have imagined will come, has come. Then I met volunteers Susan and Bahaman ( Many other volunteers that help my family not just me), and things kept getting better. It made me volunteer. When I won a scholarship I had the opportunity to give a part of the money to a nonprofit- I gave it to Iskashitaa.” Hari Nepal, Bhutan
Iskashitaa needs your support between now and April 5th during this period of Arizona Gives Day to reach our financial goal of $30,000. https://www.azgives.org/c/GivesDay/a/iskashitaa
