We women in Somalia are trying to be leaders in our community.

At night I dream about going to where I played when I was still young.

Women can build stability. We can make peace.

We women in Somalia are trying to be leaders in our community.

I have big hope for the Canadian government to help Somalia with something concrete and tangible. I haven't seen that.

The long-term solution in preventing another famine in Somalia is to promote self-reliance.

When I decided to become a doctor, I was very, very young, when my mother, her seventh child, became pregnant, and she was feeling terrible pain, and I could not know how to help her. And my mother died in front of my eyes, without knowing why, which diagnosis. So I decided to be a doctor.
