Dear Sponsors,

Greetings to you all in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. I'm hoping you are all fine together with your families. As for me, I'm fine and everything here is okay.

Talking about my academic school program at school, we are okay because this term is the last one in grade eight. Next year I will be going into examinations class which is grade nine. I am very sure to continue with my good performance even though some subjects are still difficult for me.

Away from school, on the 24th of October, 2104 we were celebrating the Zambian Golden Jubilee at the National Hero's Stadium. I even took part in the performance and it was really nice dancing in from of a very big crowd which came to support me and my fellow friends. Even members of parliament, and the first President of Zambia came to celebrate. I was really honored and humbled because I never expected them to be there.

That is all I have for you today. May the Lord be with you forever and ever.

Yours, Beatrice Phiri

Dear Beatrice -

My children also had chicken pox when they were younger; I hope that it did not keep you out of school too long.

Recently, my husband retired after 40 years with his company and we were able to take a holiday in the cool mountains away from the heat and humidity of our town. We saw big schools and very small schools as we traveled - it is the season of learning!

Praying that you have a very good school term,
**Katy Manck
