Hi Allies and Donors!
It is with great pleasure that I have written to you again this gracious moment . I'm grateful to God that I have witnessed yet another academic year come to pass. I'm glad too to inform you that I have completed my high school education under the courtesy of your kindness and your full support financially. Surely, the Lord has shown his favor through you. I would like to thank you in a special way. May the Lord continue showering you with His blessings wherever you be. I also thank the KenyaConnect for their support that enabled me to propel with positivity because, if it were not for them maybe I would have joined the street young men, who have actually turned their lives into weed smoking fornicators with no future.
The exam was a tremendous success and I'm certain that I'm going to get a good grade which will enable me to join one of the best universities here in Kenya where my skills shall be abetted and after which I shall be ready to navigate the market with courage, confidence and impeccable credential.
Just something about our country; we are experiencing almost a galloping inflation which has pulled down most of Kenyans' standards 0f living. The value of Kenyan shilling has also been indirectly proportional to the inflation. My hope is that soon I'm going to cope with the challenging situations with life of being not a student since this challenges have become character in our daily lives.
May the almighty God bless you exceedingly as you continue touching lives of many children in this century. Bye and once again thanks...

Hi Friends!
How do you do? I've chosen to write again to you before I report back to school this week. It has also taken the hand of God to see the end of the holiday. I will never fatigue by thanking you for your full support.
I have done much this holiday concerning education so that when I go back to school I continue displaying a charisma of a trail blazer.I have also been attending youth programmes in church and I not only learnt but alo grew spiritually.
concerning our country, we are experiencing much; there have been an inflation since the new president and many families have been utterly affected negatively by this. Again cases of corruption have also been increasing every now and then but I thank God for He has enabled us to saunter on.
I too as an individual have been facing so much but I always understand that challenges have to come but the strong ones will survive. I really love a verse in the Bible which says, "Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them,for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world " that is 1JONN 4:4 .
I would like to wish you humble time and may grace of the Lord be with you all the time. Bye Bye...

    It was 2009 when I started standard 1. I was very happy to start primary level. When my mother died, it was really painful to me. It is a gap which will never be filled in my heart. After the funeral, I continued my studies. I am thankful I completed the term and passed the exam to standard 2. When I was in class 2, my father was my hope but after my mother's death, he changed and did not take care of me. Instead I was raised by my relatives. In 2010, my father died too and I have lived with my grandmother ever since. I was my parents' only child. Because of these challenges, I have learned that education is the best of all worldly things, better than money which gets used up. Education is the best heritage. I will never give up the chance for education. I really appreciate being selected as a scholarship beneficiary of The School Fund. I will work hard, very hard, to achieve my dream and help less fortunate people

    My dream is to become an accountant and I will get there by studying hard. The moment that I felt proud of myself is when I learned that I passed the Standard 7 National Exams. The happiest moment in my life is when I was selected by the Ebenezer Seminary for my secondary school education. The most difficult experience I had is the death of my my best friend. He died of malaria. Malaria is a disease that can be treated. My friend could be alive if he got proper medical treatment. I learn from his death that we need to help our poor friends with their basic needs. I plan to help the orphans to make sure they can reach their dreams as I will. I will also contribute some of my salary to help the disabled people after my dream comes true.

    Carmen is one of our most dedicated students. She attends all of our events and meetings, and is eager to begin her studies. After graduating high school, she worked as a waitress in Puka Rumi, one of the best restaurants in town. Here, under the mentorship of renowned chef Alejo, she fell in love with the art of cooking and hopes to someday open her own restaurant. In her spare time, she is an athlete. Her favourite sport is volleyball, and she was the only female to compete in last year's Ollantaytambo weightlifting competition! She comes from a humble campesino (rural indigenous) family. Since her father passed away 16 years ago, she and her nine siblings have since been raised by her single mother.
