Heads up: This just might make your day. Tanzanian student Gideon Gidori has limited access to education and books. In fact, schools only reach the sixth grade in Tanzania. Despite these obstacles, Gideon has one epic goal—to be an astronaut.
He’s been fascinated with it for most of his life and spends his spare time walking to every limitedly-stocked library, reading all of their science and space books at least once. Inspired by the infamous potato salad Kickstarter campaign, Gideon is summoning help to complete the scholarship he’s received from Florida Air Academy. Watch his adorable video and read more about this special kid and the way he’s blasting through obstacles like the rocket ship pilot he aspires to be.
