I've got on very well this term. I achieved high marks and got good results for my homework and my behaviour. Thank you to the Condor Trust and the School Fund for your support. I feel I'm doing better every day. Thank you!
This term hasn't been very easy for me. Among other things, I had to change schools. But day by day I realise that it is a great thing to learn and experience new things. I see that I'm making progress bit by bit towards realising my dreams and goals.
It's not easy for me to be sociable, but in my new school I'm managing this better and this makes me feel very good. I know that I can be more sociable.
I am very happy that you are supporting me. Thank you.
The beginning of this last term was difficult. We had new teachers and I didn't know them. Gradually I got to know them better though and I started to enjoy the classes. Everything is now going well. I understand English better - last year it was a problem for me, but now it's going much better as I've been paying more attention and asking for help from the teachers. Thank you very much for your help too.
Hello. This last term has been quite difficult. We had to do a lot of special activities, and then catch up on normal classes at the last moment. On the other hand, I finished the term with good marks. I try hard with each project, so I can reach the level the teachers think I should.
In my school we've been doing extra things such as planting trees in green spaces and participating in a competition about how to stop bullying. We had a university fair, too where I learnt about interesting courses.
We've also been taking part in the tests for INEVAL [a national system of tests to assess learning and teaching standards in Ecuador].
Little by little I'm preparing for the next stage of my life.
Thank you for helping make all this possible.
Hello. I've learnt a lot of new things over the past 6 months. We've also begun to work in groups and participate in different activities. I've enjoyed this and done well, I think. I send my thanks to everyone who is helping me.

I am very grateful to God, to my mother for her patience, and to the Condor Trust and the School Fund for their support and faith in me.
This is my final year at secondary school. I will soon finish a stage in my life which has been full of events, definitely more good ones than bad ones. They've taught me to be more disciplined. Recently the teachers have begun to prepare us for the next stage in life, choosing what to do next. Thanks to your help and the Condor Trust, I've been able to afford the extra costs that this preparation sometimes involves - buying materials for manual work etc - and I am really grateful to everyone for their support and for making all this possible.
So far this year is going well. I've had a few difficulties in maths, but in the other subjects my average marks are good. I've learnt lots of new things, and am really trying to improve my maths as well. The teachers put us in groups so we can learn about subjects more in depth and ask us to do research and then homework. I've been doing all of this, and my marks have been improving. Thank you!

Congratulations, Christine, on your success so far. I'm sure you will continue with excellent grades. Libraries are among my favourite places, both school and public libraries. It's great that you have access to the Kenya Connect Library. Enjoy your long holiday, Wayne
Hi Christine, thank you for your update. Well done! I was very interested that in Kenya the use of plastic bags is prohibited. A great idea. Saves seeing the multitude of plastic in the bushes and on roadside. I wonder why other countries have not done that, especially those that pride themselves on environment. I use a plaited carrier bag from Kenya with string handles. Very useful and hardwearing. all best wishes, Henry
