Seydou Djourte is a teacher and the director of Cholabougou primary school in Koulikoro. Although he often dreamt of living in a big city, he couldn’t ignore the great need he saw in Cholabougou. The village lacked running water and many basic amenities, but Seydou knew he could at least provide its children with an education. To him, integrity means seeing a need and doing your best to help, which is just what he did by building a school and teaching in it himself. Thanks to Seydou, generations of children have been educated, and he hopes to extend this work across all of Mali.
