Meet Rahima

Rahima is an artist at heart. Whether it’s dance, drawing, painting she looks for ways for her creativity to shine through. She has been attending ALC since she began school and is now going into 3rd grade. She loves science because it includes fun projects where she can use her artistic skills, and she enjoys learning English too. Rahima is kind and helpful, supporting her friends at school and her mom at home. She’s the youngest of four siblings that come from a Kurdish family. Her first language is Kurdish, her second Arabic, and her English is growing as she builds her 3rd language. She dreams of becoming either a chef to help feed the poor or an architect to build homes for those who have lost theirs.
