An eighth grader at Folwell Middle School, Fatima has been involved in Hope’s Youth in the City mentoring program every Saturday since she moved to Hope over 4 years ago.
“Saturdays are when I see my good friends from the neighborhood,” she explains, “because my school is far away.” She continues to express what she enjoys about living at Hope, “People are interactive – they talk to each other. It’s nice.”
Fatima especially likes history, math and science. She is on the volleyball team at school and does community service through the YMCA. She is learning about documentary filmmaking in Hope’s mentoring program.
