About

Michael is the first born in a family of three. His sterling performance in Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) earned him a spot at a top boy's provincial school in Nairobi county. High school education being very expensive in Kenya, his father, the sole bread winner of the house finds it very hard to make ends meet since the second born child is also in a top girls provincial school, at times, he says that he might end up only supporting one of the two trough high school. Supporting Michael will definitely keep his sister too in school.

Hello Barbara C.,
Am so glad that my dreams of clearing high school are almost coming true. Thank you for the support. We are doing our final lap this year and you can imagine how much this means to me. I will give it my best and I will make you proud. Thank you so much.

Hey Ivan,
Of course I do like pancakes. However, we rarely make them. We prefer "chapati", a delicacy that originally emanated from India. Even the name sounds Indian.
I am glad to hear that you are in the school play. I am in my last year in high school and am making all the preparations necessary to help me pass my exams which are coming in October. This exam will determine the course I will pursue at the university For this reason, I have suspended all my involvement in extra-curricular activities. Keep up the good work you are doing in the drama and I wish you the best of luck..... and congratulations for the effort you made in Biology. Schools are closing soon and I hope to have a wonderful break in April. I will update you on how things will be.
