Literacy is a power within power
By reading you can trace the past
To know how the world has lived
And by writing you leave footprints
To let future generation know about you

Literacy crashes the gates of ignorance
Breaks chains with mental backwardness
Keeps old worlds alive in a living world
I praise my parents for sending me to school
I thank the Somali governments of my time
I Thank nations that funded Somalia education
After all I Praise the Lord, Allah, the merciful

Literacy truly is quite powerful, and we should all thank God for this gift.

No wonder, the first verse of the Qur'an is "IQRA" which means "READ". Being able to read and write is the greatest thing that distinguishes me from other animals. Unfortunately, 70% of the youthful Somali population born after 1985 are either illiterate or semi-literate according to the UN report on Somalia. There are very few academic institutions in the country. Most of them charge fees but the majority of the households cannot afford it.

Thank you Abdinoor. Keep advocating for peace, love and education.
