[liberationtech] One of my 9th grade students, Mahfuz Salifh, is flourishing

[Phil Shapiro]

I took him a donated computer three years ago, when he was in 6th grade. Even back then, he was an eager learner and high academic achiever. 

Check out the screencast he recently made using OBS Studio (open source screencasting software).

If you'd like to send him some encouraging feedback, his email is -- 

"Mahfuz Salih" <mahfuzsalih at gmail.com> 

Don't forget to mention which city, state (or country) you're writing from.

Mahfuz regularly tutors his younger siblings on reading, computers, and other stuff. He takes the time I spend mentoring him and multiplies it many times 
over. His mom knows me well -- and we're all on the same page -- moving forward with confidence and enthusiasm. 

At the rate he is going, I'll be hiring him to do some work for me in the next year or two.
