Tawufik has displayed a genuine interest in learning at school; he pays close attention when the teachers go over their lessons. He also enjoys running and playing soccer with his friends. Tawufik still has plenty of time to decide what he wants to do in the future, but for now, he wants to become a doctor and learn how to heal others. Tawufik and his family are familiar with life in poverty. His parents are considered peasants due to their economic status; they go from job to job trying to maintain a source of income. Tawufik?s parents know that their son will excel if they can afford to keep him in school. Through sponsorship, Tawufik will receive things like nutritious meals and a continuing education.
