NAIROBI, June 26 (Xinhua) — At the age of six, Ameer Deng fled conflict-ridden South Sudan for neighboring Kenya, uncertain about what the future held.
Growing up in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Turkana County in northern Kenya, Deng developed a stronger determination to pursue formal education, believing it could change the course of her life.
“I had a thirst for education. When I finished school, I kept looking for opportunities. I took computer classes at Kakuma Refugee Camp and looked for ways to continue learning,” Deng told Xinhua.
