“
After joining, Umoja Leeds made me feel good and appreciated. The mentors are very supportive and I see them like role models. The friends I made here made me feel like people cared about me.Baada ya kujiunga, Umoja Leeds ilinifanya nijisikie vizuri na kuthaminiwa. Washauri wanasaidia sana na ninawaona kama vielelezo. Marafiki niliopata hapa walinifanya nihisi kuwa watu wananijali.
