Yemen: Pinning my hopes for the future on my students
Mona Mohammed Al Khattib had to flee her war-torn city of Taiz to find safety in the mountainside town of Ibb. There, she found a job as maths teacher and she hopes her pupils will have a bright future in a peaceful Yemen where they will become "the best doctors, teachers, engineers, professors, hackers, even, if they want!"
"Women's Voices from Yemen" is a series of audio diaries by five women living in five different towns across Yemen.
