Yona is a smart and motivated ten-year-old from Tanzania. The oldest of three children, he lives with his parents on a small farm where they grow corn and sunflowers.
While playing at school one day, Yona fractured his leg. If left untreated, his injury will cause him severe pain, prevent him from walking, and limit his opportunities in the future. Yona is interested in agriculture and farming, and hopes to grow up and own a large piece of land one day so he can support his family. He says he hopes to continue his education to ensure he will be able to manage his land successfully.
