Hello donors,
I would like to take this chance to greet you and express my sincere gratitude to you. How have you been? It is my hope that you are as good as I am. The term has being long since we were undertaking the final examination in secondary level but to my enjoyment I have made it through.

Although the year had a lot of challenges including the floods and teachers' strike, I did my level best to ensure that the disasters did not affect my academics. Had the adage "Determination knows no barrier" not being ratified? I therefore wish to take this chance in a special way to thank you for your never ending support in paying my school fees throughout the four years.

It is in deed a testimony that since I joined form one in Masinga school till the end of form four, I have never being send home for school fees. This is all through your financial support. Thank you so much for keeping me in school. May you be blessed. Good bye.

Hello donors,
First I would like to take this golden opportunity to pass my warm greetings and sincere gratitude to you. How have been? It is my hope that you are doing well. On my side, the academic term has ran so smoothly that I could not realise it had come to an halt due to presence of so many activities such as the games activities and music festivals. Despite the challenging environment, I worked with much zeal and zest, and so I attained a mean grade of B-. This was majorly contributed by the enormous support you offered through payment of my school fees. I would like to thank you for your great and kind support. May you be blessed. Good 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.
