About

In school, Dennis is an excellent performer, very obedient and responsible. But all these may go to waste if no extra support is given to him. He is the eldest child in his family with four other siblings in primary schools. His father works as a casual labourer at Athi River (in the outskirts of Nairobi) while his mother sells household items to supplement his father's inadequate income bringing their total monthly earnings to Ksh 10,000 (USD 125). The family lives in a house that amounts to Ksh 3,200 (USD 40) in rent per month.

Hi Dennis, it is great to hear that you are doing so well in school. I always loved math too when growing up, though instead I decided to pursue a career in nursing and I work as a nurse practitioner helping children who need open heart surgery. How exciting that you would like to be a pilot one day. That will take many skills and dedication, so it sounds like you are putting yourself on the right path to be successful with that.
Best of luck and study hard.
