Our Harvest school resources introduce pupils to Aster’s daughter Agar, 11, who lives in Ethiopia.
Agar (above left) used to rely on firewood and kerosene lamps to do her homework in the evenings. But the dirty fuels filled her house with smoke, which hurt her eyes, so she gave up studying and dropped out of school.
Our partner helped Agar's family gain access to a solar lamp so she can now study safely and work towards her dream of becoming a maths teacher.
By listening to Agar’s story, pupils can learn that wherever we live, we are all global neighbours. We can stand together to transform our world.
