Hi friends,

I am glad once again to share with all my friends in TSF. I do appreciate the enormous support and encouraging words i have received from everyone. I have now started my final term in high school. Very soon i will be sitting for my final exam. I am looking forward to it and i am confident that i will perform well.

I urge you to continue supporting young children to pursue their dreams in education.

Wishing you all the best

Hallo Christi,
I am happy to hear from you! I will try peaches one day. At home i usually cook for my grand parents and also clean the utensils. Mostly in African traditions men do very little in the kitchen but its has started to change due to education.

We are experiencing a cold season now and we are forced to put on heavy clothing. Does it get cold in your place?

Hoping to hear from you!
