Hello donors,
How are you? I am very fine and I hope you are too. It is my first time to write to you and I am very excited about it. I joined a very good secondary school which is helping me to achieve my goals. Teachers in my new school are very friendly and they teach us very well to understanding.
Life was not easy for the first weeks because I did not have friends in the new school and I was also not familiar with the new environment. I would actually get lost almost every time I went for bathroom breaks, but as weeks went by, I got used to the new environment and I mastered my class and my dorm.
I take 12 subjects unlike in primary school where I took 6 subjects. They are not hard except for Computer studies which I find it a bit challenging because I had never learnt about it until I joined secondary school. My best subject is history because it helps me appreciate the changes we have had in our culture as well as living standards.
we wake up at 4:00 am for our morning preps which is earlier than the time I used to wake up when I was in primary school. I have adapted to this wake up time.
I have improved in my academics and I am still working hard to achieve more.
My gratitude goes out to you for donating towards my school fees. i have been able to stay in school and read smoothly. May you be blessed and increased.
Have a nice time ahead.

    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.
