Aaron is a student of I AM Academy that I have traveled the farthest to visit in his home, living three villages away from Wabinyira and school. At 5 years old Aaron is not walking to school, but rides with his sister and several others from the village on the back of a motorcycle every day for his lessons. He stays with his grandparents and mother, along with 9 siblings and cousins. Even though his father has abandoned them, the family is farming and doing what they can to support themselves. Their family grows beans, maize, and bananas. A new addition to the farm are two young calfs born from their cow which is a huge blessing as it will provide money from the cows and milk for the kids for quite some time. Aaron spends his afternoons after school resting and playing around the house or doing small tasks for his elderly grandparents. He is quite a confident young man at home and at school, he loves his teacher, Teacher Diana, and is confidently trying out all of his letters, even spelling many English words!
