Hello donors,
I hope that you are doing well.I am glad to inform you that we have closed school for a short holiday of 4 weeks and we will be back on 29th April 2024.The term seemed to be too long that I could not even imagine how it suddenly came to an end.
During the term there were buzzing activities at our school which included games and science projects.our school hosted the regional games whereby we enjoyed exchanging our skills and ideas with other schools.
our school has copied a routine from one of the schools we interacted with,that is:extending night preps up to 11.00 pm and I have realised a slight improvement in our academics.
During the term we were also brought a English speaker who went through some topics in English and told us that it is the easiest subject for one who have a positive attitude towards it.
The speaker told us that we should have a positive attitude in not only English but also in other subject for us to do well in our academics.
May you feel much appreciated wherever you are because of your support towards my academics.May the almighty bless you abundantly.Thank you.
Hi donors,
I am happy for your support and love that you have shown me.I have come home for term two holiday. Back in school I have a challenge in Physics but,I will work hard so that I can get a good grade.

We will be selecting subjects once we get back to school and I promise that my performance will get better with this.

May God continue blessing you together with your family members.

Hello donors,
I would like to take this golden opportunity to greet you all. How have you been? It's my hope that you are as fine as I am. Secondly, I would like to pass my sincere gratitude to you for the never ending support towards my school fees. It takes a great heart and kindness to support someone especially in terms of finance thus I appreciate you so much for your contribution in my fees payment.Your support has enabled me to work tooth and nail throughout the term and as the adage goes, "hard work pays" I managed to attain a mean grade of B minus. During this Easter holiday I have planned to work my best in revision as I prepare for the coming national examination which will usher me in the university. Thank you once again for your support. May you be blessed.

At school I have been busy with my studies and I am really enjoying them with my lovely teachers whom God has blessed them to guide me. Apart from that, I have participated in co-curricular activities like handball to exercise and make my body physically fit. I have also participated in mind games like chess were I competed with others students and emerged to be the runners -up.

Currently as we are at home, I am visiting The Kenya Connect Library to get revision materials for studies especially at weak areas. I am also interacting with Kenya Connect teachers who are encouraging me to work hard to achieve my goals and I am really grateful to God for them. I am also looking forward for the opening of the school on 29th April, 2024 to resume with my studies and I promise I am going to work smart and never to disappoint none of you.

I am so grateful to Almighty God for the contribution of funds for my fees to support my education. May God bless you all donors.

hello fam

so today i would like to share with you something about the book i have read, its called The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

One of the lessons I learned from Victor E. Frankl’s classic Mans Search for Meaning is that once we find meaning, happiness is not far behind. In The Power of Positive Thinking Norman Vincent Peale points out that we can choose to be happy. However, as with creating an inflow of new thoughts that is easier said than done. One of the strategies Frankl talks about is finding meaning in every situation. There is a reason behind all of the decisions we’ll make. Therefore we need to focus on the positives. Even if the circumstances that we’re in are less than ideal. This book taught me that we ultimately have control over our outcomes.


The most impactful chapter for me was 8: I Don’t Believe in Defeat. The title alone sends a strong message. Peale first instructs the reader to eliminate defeatist thoughts. “If you are thinking thoughts of defeat, I urge you to rid yourself of such thoughts, for as you think defeat you tend to get it”. I found the message impactful. The quote is very impactful for me because It takes me back to when I played basketball. In sports, you need to have the irrational confidence that you’re going to win. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers would not have been the first team in NBA history to come back in the NBA finals down 3–1 without believing they could. Similarly, Apple would not have beat IBM in the PC wars without internal belief.


However, there will be obstacles when achieving your goals. Obstacles are movable objects. So why do we tend to give these obstacles more weight than they should have? There has never been a challenge that we’ve faced that someone else in human history hasn't also faced. Throughout your journey, we can expect to encounter obstacles. This book has shown me how to reshape how I think about obstacles as challenges, and to look for solutions to my challenges instead of adopting the mindset of defeat.


“ The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” Altering the thoughts that flow through your mind is easier said than done. It requires awareness and mindfulness. In this chapter, Peale describes why we need to have a constant inflow of new thoughts. We’re able to think our way to failure and unhappiness. Because we’re able to think our way to failure and or success wouldn’t it be wise to choose to think about success?


Every success ever obtained started with a thought. For example, what if there was a personal computer with graphical user interfaces? Or what if there were a way where people could rent out their homes to travelers? Do these ideas sound familiar? Not only can thoughts create ideas that lead to billions of dollars in value, but they can also improve your life.
If I want to change my circumstances, I need to start by changing my thoughts. Think differently, and the results will follow. We must think of things of how they should be. Begin executing with that thought in mind, and you’ll achieve what you want. Believe and succeed.


I want to touch on creating happiness as my final thought because that is the state of mind we all aim to achieve. We can choose to be happy. If I’m ever having difficulty making that choice, I look to find meaning in what I’m doing. For example, a simple “chore” such as cleaning my apartment can be upgraded from a “chore” to an activity that creates joy in my life when I change my mindset to one of gratitude. Instead of doing a “chore,” I am honoring my living space by tidying up. I am grateful to have this clean space. When I find meaning in every day moments, my life is richer, and when I focus on the positives, I become even more powerful.

Thank you
Fahdy.
§Hi donors,
It´s my hope that you are all fine.
I am doing well on my side although I did not score according to my expectations.
I tried as much as I could but I did not maintain my grade .I got B+of 114 points which is a drop .I promise to work more hard and improve in my next exam. By then I will be have chosen subjects thus revision will be easier for me.
We are at home for the April holiday and we will resume back to school at the end of this month.
I would like to thank you all for the continued support that you accord me in my education by contributing funds towards my school fees. Words are not enough to express how grateful I am for your sacrifices just to ensure I am in school. May God bless you all .
Thank you .

The second phase of the term has been quite busy as there was athletics where our school managed to champion up to the county in hockey,rugby,and basket ball.Our teams now are on toes preparing for the second term`s ball games.

We were released for our holiday on 3 April 2024 but I was left in school for a christian camp which ran up to Friday and we left for our holiday on Saturday.We are expected to report back on 29 April 2024 ready for learning as we are preparing for the final national examination at the end of the year and I promise to work more harder to achieve the best and qualify for a degree in Law at the university.

I always believe in one quote that Winners never quit and quitters never win and this has kept me pushing harder in my studies.
Bye bye and have a nice time ahead.
