About

Petro writes: "I used to live with my grandparents in Mbulu District; while I was there my grandparents were not able to pay for my primary school contributions when I was in standard six I decided to drop off the primary education in 2008. After I stayed at home for a while my mother decided to shift me from Mbulu to Karatu District. In 2010 I got back to school that was standard six again and work hard on my studies. My father and mother divorced when I was still little boy. My mom is doing small business so she can't manage to pay for my school fees." In 2012, Petro was first in his class of 63 students.
