Amid the echoes of conflict, Sudanese children are painting vivid portraits of hope this International Children’s Day. From Khartoum’s streets to village squares, their answers to ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ reveal resilience sharper than any sword.
Future Healers: Many kids, like 10-year-old Aisha, dream of becoming doctors—“to fix wounds and stop my mom’s headaches when she cries.” Others imagine piloting planes to “fly above the smoke and see the whole world.”
Rebuilders in Training: For 13-year-old Nasr al-Din Ibrahim Abdullah Mirghani, becoming an engineer isn’t just about buildings—it’s about restoring homes shattered by war. His biggest wish? “Let the fighting end so families can reunite under safe roofs.”
Global Hearts, Local Heroes: These stories aren’t just childhood fantasies—they’re survival blueprints. As one teen put it: “If I can’t study today, I’ll fight to study tomorrow.” Talk about leveling up in life’s hardest game.
