Fatima and Maryam | Kiswahili

Kutoka Kenya hadi Angola, sasa tunakwenda moja kwa moja hadi Morocco! Wiki hii, hadithi tunayorejelea tena ni kuhusu chuo kikuu cha kwanza kabisa duniani!
Kumbuka kwamba kipindi hiki kinatoa tahadhari kwa msikilizaji kwani kinahusu kifo cha mzazi. Lakini kama utakavyoonyehswa na Fatima na Maryam, mnapojaliana, mnaweza kutimiza ndoto yoyote ile.
