Hi donors and friends?
How are you?I hope you are fine.On my side, I'm fine and doing well. This term was quite long and I have gained a lot of ideas that will impact me positively in my academics.
We are experiencing winter in our country. How about you?
For the co-curricular activities, our school team did their best.Rugby and soccer went up to the county level, volleyball and basketball went up to the sub-county level.This has been an improvement compared to last time.
We have come home for a one month holiday and I hope it will be good.I 'm grateful to you all for raising funds towards my school fees.May you be blessed beyond boundaries.

    Matata

    Kenya

    Matata is a daring young boy who believes that success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. He is the last born in a family of four. His parents are unemployed and largely depend on subsistence farming, which has been negatively affected by frequent severe droughts. Most of the rural roads in his village are very impassable and this has pushed him towards achieving his dream of becoming an engineer. Since Matata was a young boy, he has always liked playing football not only at home but also in school and he was the goalkeeper for his school team.
