Dear Somali Development Center

Have you completed secondary school?

Are you over the age of 18?

If so, we’d love to hear from you

My name is Sarah Dryden-Peterson. I am an assistant professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in the United States, and I have worked for many years on promoting access to high quality education for refugees.

With my colleagues, I am now working to create support systems so that Somali students in Dadaab refugee camps in Kenya can be more successful in school. We are interested in learning about the kinds of supports that members of the Somali community draw on to be successful in school.

To help with this project, we hope you will take 10-15 minutes to fill out this survey by copying this link to your internet browser http://bit.ly/LAbs1O

Please forward widely this email and the link to the survey widely. All responses are greatly appreciated.

With thanks and warm regards,

 

Sarah Dryden-Peterson
