In support of SOS Barnbyar ----------------------- In support of SOS Barnbyar ----------------------------------- Today as an adult, I am grateful to have found my passion through storytelling. That passion has taken me to some of the most incredible places on earth. (1 - Egypt, 2 - Uzbekistan, 3 - Abisko, 4 - Jordan, 5 - Nepal, 6 - Greenland, 7 - Jukkasjärvi) Thanks to your commitment, SOS Children's Villages can help more young people get a good start in life as adults Giving someone a new belief in their own future is one of the best things you can give. For those in Sweden, you can give young people a brighter future - Please swish to 9002296. The beginning of freedom should not be the end of security. @sosbarnbyar #sosbarnbyar #enljusareframtid -------------------------------------- Obetalt samarbete med SOS Barnbyar ------------------------------------- I dag som vuxen är jag tacksam över att ha hittat min passion genom berättelse. Denna passion har tagit mig till några av de mest otroliga platserna på jorden. Tack vare ert engagemang kan SOS Barnbyar hjälpa fler ungdomar få ett bra start i livet som vuxna En gåva ger fler ungdomar rätt förutsättningar att kunna ta sig an vuxenlivet.

In support of SOS Barnbyar ----------------------- In support of SOS Barnbyar ----------------------------------- I moved from Nigeria to the US at 15 years old to start university. I started living alone by 17 years old. By 19 years old, I had graduated with my first college degree and began working as a GIS programmer and software developer. Thanks to the support of my parents and their encouragement, this transition from teenager to young adult was a lot easier. I realize what a tremendous privilege my transition was. Moving away from home isn't as smooth and seamless for everyone. SOS Barnbyar supports young people who leave social care in Sweden for a better start in their adult lives. For those in Sweden, you can give young people a brighter future - Please swish to 9002296. @sosbarnbyar #sosbarnbyar #enljusareframtid -------------------------------------- Obetalt samarbete med SOS Barnbyar ------------------------------------- Jag flyttade från Nigeria till USA 15 år för att börja plugga vid universitet. Jag började bo ensam när jag var 17 år gammal. Vid 19 år hade jag tagit examen med min första universitetsexamen och började arbeta som GIS programmerare och mjukvara utvecklare. Tack vare mina föräldrars stöd och deras uppmuntran var vägen från tonåring till ung vuxen mycket enklare. Jag inser vilket enormt förmån jag hade. Att flytta hemifrån är inte lika smidigt för alla. SOS Barnbyar stöttar ungdomar som lämnar samhällsvården i Sverige till en bättre start på vuxenlivet. Ge ungdomar #enljusareframtid – Var snäll och swisha till 9002296. @sosbarnbyar #sosbarnbyar #youth #support #sweden #brightfutures #migration #integration #education
In support of SOS Barnbyar ---------------------- In support of SOS Barnbyar ----------------------------------- Here I was at 5 (or so) years old. With a twinkle in my eye, I was ready to take up my place in the world. By my side, my strong parents guided me through every step of the way as I transitioned from childhood to adulthood. And I am grateful everyday for the support I had. But growing up and transitioning into adulthood is not as easy for everyone. Especially for those who lack that very crucial support during this vulnerable transition stage of their lives. SOS Barnbyar supports young people who leave social care in Sweden for a better start in their adult lives. For those in Sweden, you can give young people a brighter future - Swish to 9002296. @sosbarnbyar #sosbarnbyar #enljusareframtid -------------------------------------- Obetalt samarbete med SOS Barnbyar ------------------------------------- Här var jag kanske 5 år. Med en glimt i ögat var jag redo att ta min plats i världen. Vid sidan av mig hade jag starka föräldrar som hjälpte mig genom livets alla steg. Och jag är dagligen tacksam för det stöd jag haft. Men att växa upp och bli vuxen är inte lika lätt för alla. Speciellt inte för dem som saknar det stödet. SOS Barnbyar stöttar ungdomar som lämnar samhällsvården i Sverige till en bättre start på vuxenlivet. Ge ungdomar #enljusareframtid – Swisha till 9002296. @sosbarnbyar #sosbarnbyar
