Celebrating Youth Voices in Education!

Last week, one of the AFSN Scholars, Ahou Abit Bol, the Head Girl of Alliance High School, proudly participated in the Back to Learning Campaign on Radio Jonglei 95.9 FM.

Through the discussion, Ahou shared valuable insights on the importance of education, encouraging young people to stay in school and pursue their dreams despite challenges. Her participation reflects the leadership, confidence, and commitment that AFSN strives to nurture among young scholars.

We are proud of Ahou for representing students and using her voice to advocate for education in South Sudan.

Keep shining and inspiring others, Ahou!
