About

This is the 9th born among 12 siblings. Mildred's parents have only a small piece of land from which they earn all of their income so her family is extremely poor. Her elder brothers and sisters never completed school. Mildred's family is only able to afford one meal per day. Mildred is a lovely and smart girl who hopes to one day help her family come out of poverty.

I am 15 years old. I study at Hghway Academy’s high school. The school was founded at Bukembe in Bungoma County. The school has both primary and secondary levels. At school I study mathematics, physics, c.r e., Kiswahili, English, biology, chemistry and home science. Learning is smooth as there are no disturbances like being asked for school fees. I would like to be a pilot in the future. There are few pilots in Kenya. Almost all of the pilots themselves are amateurs. Every day you hear of a plane crash because of a pilot’s ignorance. This makes me want to be a pilot. Thanks to you who have sacrificed to help me continue with my studies.
