A Year Later: Dreams of becoming a model!


Last year, the students at Mahola Primary School often had to bring water to school because the school's hand-dug well was drying up.

"I had to depend on myself for water, and it was very tough. I stay with my grandmother, who is not strong enough to go look for water. I had to do double work [to] get her water, then get mine. Sometimes I could go a day without water because I could not make it to bring some water to school," said nine-year-old Fadhila W.

But now that we installed a well on the school campus last year, water is now easy for Fadhila to access, and her everyday life changed.

"It is very easy, and it feels good. I can say studying has become fun because, with water available, we have all the time to ourselves," said Fadhila.

"I want to become a model someday, and someone once told me drinking a lot of water helps repair our skin. I do drink a lot of water to stay always fresh and hydrated to keep my skin shining," concluded Fadhila.

Keep your eyes peeled for Fadhila on the runways of the world!
