“Papa, I can not find the appropriate words to express the profound gratitude I feel toward you. And I cannot stop thinking about it. The dream of achieving what and who I always wanted to be is now becoming a reality with such unconceivable ease I could never have imagined in this life. Thank you so very much for everything, Papa. I find myself being one of a privileged generation of young people succeeding in the most coveted studies in Mali. (translated from French)” - Ada
