Two sisters who were forbidden to go to school have now graduated high school

This is a story of perseverance and the determination it takes to make a dream come true. Two sisters of Somalian descent grew up in Kenya with a dream to one day come to America to go to school.

It all goes back to the then five-year-old Raha and six-year-old Murio being raised by their paternal uncle after their parents divorced.

They would help get their cousins ready for school but they weren't allowed to attend themselves. When their father immigrated to Wisconsin he promised to bring them over as soon as he could.

Growing up, the girls weren't allowed to visit their mother's home in Kenya but would often find a way while on short trips to the market.Their mother's dream for them was to go to America and eventually for them to help sponsor her to join them.
