About

Bonifas attends Madibira A-level School. The most difficult time in my life was when it came time to learn the English language. I was from a local school where we prepare Swahili language in all subjects except English. I know it sounds crazy but I overcame it through watching overseas movies where I learned by getting the spirit of the characters’ conversation and seeing what the whole movie was about. Well, I will repay The School Fund by giving TSF students advice on how they can benefit from my experience. Because of The School Fund, while I was doing my O-Level studies I never had to get into any quarrels about payment of my school fees or expenses for food. After I get my own job and am good financially, it will be my honor to pay school fees for some of the current TSF students. I have a plan to become a human doctor or a pharmacist. The only way to reach this is through education which I consider the key to life.

Hello students,

I finally got back to the US last week.
It has been a very long trip to Tanzania this year total three weeks.

I was very happy to meet all of you and know everyone better.

My trip started from Karatu. I visited 5 schools in Karatu and I learn where do you go to school every day.

I am very happy to know all of you are doing well and every of you has a dream that you want to be successful one day. I encourage all of you to try your best to reach you own destination.

The get together was so well prepared and done by each of you. I am very happy to saw all your science presentations and poems you wrote to TSF and me. I will treasure them all my life.

I can say I am very proud to all of you. Keep up the good work I want to see each of you one day get to
good University/College to reach your own dream.

After Karatu, I went to ARUSHA attended the TED Global conference and visited couple schools in ARUSHA.
I enjoyed the TED conference this year. It was focused on the Africa, specially in agriculture, health and education.

Mr. Amos was a volunteer there, he had great experience being this Global conference and met people from around the world.
He had a life experience at the conference, where he was able to meet a group of bright inventive and talented group of people.

Later I went to Iringa. Iringa almost the second hometown for me. I have been there six times.
I visited all 8 schools in Iringa and meet all of you in person. I was very happy to meet you.

I had a great time at the get together party. All of you did a wonderful presentation. I am very happy to know all of you had fun that night.

My this year Tanzania trip was set MMM computer center for most of the 13 TSF schools.
At Iringa, We build total 5 new computer center in Iringa girls, Klerruu, Lugalo, Ebenezer, Miyomgoni and Update one MMM center at Ummusalama. We build one new computer center at Karatu Secondary School and update one MMM center at Ganako.

I am very proud of building the MMM computer center in most of the TSF schools. I really want all of you to go to the computer center to learn every subject you are interested from the RACHEL PLUS.
In the future everyone work will be on the computer. I hope that every single of you tell me what do you learn from the RACHEL PLUS.
I would like you could to start the debate team in your school so you all could practice how to speak in the public. Have the Math Club and challenge each other on the Math.

They will all benefit your long-term confidence.

I hope I will hear from all of you soon.

Hello, I am very happy you wrote on the journal and let me know that you are back in town from your first year of the A-level school. Some of you mentioned that you don't get enough study material from the school. I would like you all to use the break go to the MMM center to study the RACHEL PI. It has all the study materials you need for your life. Any subject you are interesting, you should be able to find on the RACHEL PI.
I hope you all doing well for your next school year too.
Remember life is in your hand. Only you could make difference for yourself.
Meanwhile, I would like to remind you that. One day when you reach your dream, I would like to see you help other students who need help to continue their study, that will be the best things you could give back to me. Plus your accomplishment, which will make me very proud of you.

frankly,i finished my form V year greatly by performing annual exams though it was not harder than i thought.
but when am back i gonna pull up my socks until it reach my knee and the only way to do that is through using different methods like discussion,undertake all previous exams and become competent enough on each topic and their questions
i know since we started our A level studies its being hard to wrote journal for you but the main reason is because we aint allowed to possess any communication device or even talk with our guardians without being informed.but i assure you this things gonna be different because we got new students government in our school.
thats all for today!

My fellow students, time just flew so fast. This semester is close to its end. You all must be very busy preparing for your final exams.

I hope you are all doing a great job this semester. Some of you graduated at end of the last year. You must very anxious waiting for your notification which A-level school you are assigned to.

Doesn't matter where you are going, the most important is the goals your set and your determination to accomplish your golds.

The Chinese always say 90% is hard work and only 10% is your talent. You could accomplish everything as long as you want to.

During your break, I would like you to write down what your major accomplishing and one thing which makes you proud of yourself that you would like to share with everybody. The things your did which will make me so proud of you and encourage me to continue to support you for your future school years. My goal for all of you, one day for your to go to College/University, You are somebody everybody will proud of you.

The way to do is that you set your final goal, the goal between one step a time and try reach it then go for the next goal, eventually, you will reach your final destination.
Best regards,
Judy

Hello Judy!
i know its been a while since i wrote something to you but this term things were not the same as expected but am trying to way so that i can move in an opposite direction.
At school life there is a lot of students with different altitude and ideology but am trying my best to live with them.At our school some teaches truly care us concerning with our studies and our future life though some are very annoying, Our school found at northern zone of our country where we suffer a lot with weather condition cause its too cold ,also we got a lot of manual heavy work for some days thats what i truly hate about my school..am even good at studying someone psychology and give him/her coucelling when is need to.I know its sounds crazy but my confidence disappear suddenly when am starting to talk in front of the crowds (to me its like involuntary action) but am still have positive vibes that one day am gonna terminate this weakness.For now am facing with different difficulties like managing my time,thinking whats gonna happpening in my future because So many times we forget about what we did yesterday or accomplished just hours ago. We are always just so focused on tomorrow, next month, next year, and so on but my brother used to tell "if you know your problems and weakness then it will be easy for you to work with them and even overcome them".All in all,my accomplishment are to set smart goals that can motivate me,wrote them down,make an action plan on those plan by stick with them.
thats all for today,
see you again

dear Joseph!
its been a long time since i put some ink (but not exactly) in your page but i guess what its because of studies this year are been a little complicated but some somehow am trying to overcome them.
concerning with your question,i think it help us a lot because it can brought challenges to the leading party by taking an example of our country i.e CCM against other political party, it can even changes the top leader

Dear student,
It has been very long time since last time I wrote to you. I have been out of town attending conferences, doing business and helping with family issues.
I know the new school year began two months ago and I hope you are able to focus on your studies and set goals for yourself. I hope you are doing well this school year.
In your journals I would like to see you are learning, what you like and dislike about the school, your accomplishments, your difficulties your life and your obstacles you face.
I want you to evaluate yourself, what is your strength and weakness, which area do you need to improve yourself. That way I could know who you are and help me to know you better. I wish you have a great year ahead of you and let me know there are anything you need me to help.
Best regards, Judy

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
