About

My life has been difficult since my mother died in 2013 and I was left with my siblings. My father has been gone since I was very young and he does not care for us. There was no one who could pay for our school requirement. I thank my sibling who tried a lot in order for me to attend Form 1. It is through her kindness that I was able to do so. My dream is to become a doctor and I will get there through studying hard. I thank the School Fund for the scholarship.

Hi Students!

I just read all the journal entries I have received since October. Such wonderful letters! I am so impressed by how mature and articulate you have become. I’m realizing that I have now been reading some of your journals for 5 years. When I look at your photos, I don’t recognize the child I first knew. You are teenagers now.
I especially love the stories that some of you told in your journals. Moral tales, I call them.

So congratulations for working so hard. I’m hoping you will achieve your goals, go to a university if you want, and become productive members of your community, and able to help others as you have been helped.

I am enjoying retirement. My age of 76 is bringing on a bit of health problems, like arthritis, but I keep active physically and don’t let it stop me from doing what I love to do.

I read a lot. I travel. I go to jazz concerts in San Francisco. I would love to return to Kenya and Tanzania for a visit. I’d love to visit your school. Maybe it will happen. Who knows?

So keep up the great efforts. I know it can’t be easy, but this is such a wonderful opportunity.

Very fondly, Susan

Hi Susan.
I want to share about water.What Is Water?
Water is a simple chemical compound. Each molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms (H
) and one oxygen
atom (O). That’s why the chemical formula for water is H
O. If water is so simple, why is it special? Water is one
of the few substances that exists on Earth in all three states of matter. Water occurs as a gas, a liquid and a solid.
You drink liquid water and use it to shower. You breathe gaseous water vapor in the air. You may go ice skating on
a pond covered with solid water — ice — in the winter.
Where Is Earth’s Freshwater?

Earth is often called the “water planet.”

Most of Earth’s water is salt water in the ocean

    Class Rank: 3/70 When I grow up I want to be an engineer and be a good person in my society. I will feel very happy when I get there. The most difficult thing in my life was when my parents got sick, because we didn't know how to take care of them. I learned that we all feel stronger when we have gpod information. When I study hard and get a good performance I feel proud of myself. I plan to take a part of my salary and give back to the School Fund. So more children can get educated just like myself.

    Aida

    Mozambique

    Aida was born in Nampula province. She is a very quiet girl, friendly, intelligent and likes to play with her friends of the same age in the neighborhood she lives. When the girl was 2 years old, her parents separated for social reasons. The father died in 2011, victim of disease. Even separated, the father helped to support his daughter while living with her mother in Nampula. After her father's death, the family moved to Beira and began to face many difficulties; even the mother having gotten a job as a cleaner, her earnings are not enough to pay the school expenses. As Aida is a very good student and hardworking, she deserves help for her dreams to become true.
