Deko

Hello!

My name is Deko Am Deko Shahow, one of the graduates at York university who left her home due to the political unrest that lead to clan conflicts and confrontations in the Horn of Africa. I grew as a refugee in Dadaab, which is home for thousands of people who fleed from different native countries. Life is never easy growing up in a refugee camp. It's the life of poverty, limited to education and the opportunity to be enrolled in the class were very few during my early age but with the hard work of my parents who supported me, I was lucky enough to be among the few that got an opportunity to be enrolled in school. Now am a big girl who is educated and perusing her Master's degree in Education in the faculty of York university based in Canada..
