About

Philip writes: "My father is deceased and my mother is a peasant farmer who produces enough for our survival. However my mother sometimes sells to support the home and our education. This has not been a reliable source of funding the education of my siblings because it is not a guarantee that the crops when sewn will yield good produce due to the poor and rudimentary agricultural practices here. The death of my father has therefore left too much burden and stress on my mother and the tendency of us to dropping out of school in the very near future is very high judging from very obvious reasons. I appreciate the need to be educated and therefore want to appeal to all well wishers to help me stay in school and climb higher the academic ladder so I can grow to be what I wish to be in the future."
