Hi Christi and Fahringer,
I hope you are fine. It is pleasure and leisure like a treasure without a measure to have people with sympathy like you for offering support. It really reveals the kind of people you are.
I am going on with my studies well. Through WEMA I know that my dreams will come true. I am working hard to become an engineer.
Actually you are an inspirational artist in my life. It is pleasurable that what you are doing for me will just go down to the history book of my life. Thank you.
Love,
Wellington.

Hi Wellington,
I'm very happy to hear that you're classes are going well. I am also happy to hear that you are confident that you will pass your exams next year! I believe that you will!

I was following the elections in Kenya this year and I was worried that they would be violent again. I am so happy that they turned out to be peaceful.

Good luck in school this term. I hope that you do well.

All the best,
Christi
