Immigration Ain't Easy Ep. 21: Elhadj Ndoye, Founder of the non-profit "The Forgotten Children"
Ehadj (El) Ndoye embodies the phrase "giving back". He immigrated from Senegal as a student and found a permanent home and community in Tucson, Arizona. However, El never forgot his roots and in 2010 he founded "The Forgotten Children", a non-profit geared towards helping the street children (talibè) in Senegal by achieving goals of self-sufficiency. What began as a means of providing clothes and other necessities to the orphaned, impoverished and homeless children in M'bour Senegal, West Africa, became a larger mission. Behind El's leadership, they established a boarding school that would provide safe housing, nourishment and education for these children in dire need. El published his memoir, Dream On, Seydou: A Memoir Of A Senegalese Immigrant, where you can learn about his life story, the motivation behind his non-profit organization and how they took a desolate plot of land and turned it into a place of education and safety for some of the most vulnerable in our world. His story serves as an inspiration for all and he has now helped many Senegalese orphans get an education and a chance at opportunity and success.
