Khady

Nine year old Khady from Senegal had been in the US for 5 years, but was still being bullied at school. “I can’t wait to be old enough to get a gun – then they’ll respect me” he told me one afternoon. With the benefit of a mentor, today he is on track to graduate with honors.

“I have complete confidence, and I see results that IYDE will help my children grow as honest and well-rounded individuals.”

IYDE Parent

“It’s like they know us, cuz they have more than just lectures, like stuff we want to do is in there, too.”
