HARF FROM YEMEN f
WINNING TEAM
The winning team, Harf from Yemen, focused on the importance of education. The team’s story followed Ahmed and Souad. In the fifth grade, Souad’s family stop her from going to school (36 percent of girls do not finish elementary level education in Yemen). Even though Ahmed continues, he suffers due to the war and his school is destroyed (like 31 percent of schools in Yemen today). Lack of education, they explained, can lead to children becoming child workers or soldiers. Harf called for changes to enable Yemen to move toward a brighter future.
