Ethnic History
I am the first of my family who came to the United States. I am here as an international student, I came in 2010 in WA State, Spokane city. I was single and I came by myself without knowing any English word, my purpose is to continue my education and get my master degree in public health. It is a big challenge and a big change for me.

The Second most things that I like about my culture is when someone gets married. We all as a family, we have to support him and attend his/her wedding and leader of my family are responsible to arrange that. In my wedding I got over than twelve thousand dollars, and I am doing the same thing and helping anyone who wants to get married into my family.

We as family build many mosques in Africa, we dig Wells and we donate money to who may need it outside our family and that for religion
