Greetings always,

I just want to say thank you for your support and everything you are doing for me and I really really appreciate it. I am very grateful and happy for you. I war you to know that you guys are always in my heart and my thoughts. I am always praying for you that you are well.

However, I just want to say thank you for your support, it's only God who can reward you. I will just keep on praying that he continues given you guys blessings. I was one of those who were dancing at the celebration of the Golden Jubilee for Zambia's Independence at the national Hero's Stadium. The performance started at 23:00 and I was in Act 3 where we danced to spell different things like the national flower and a drum. After that we all came together on stager to make something like 1964-2014. I love my mother country, Zambia. The program ended there, and I really enjoyed it.

From,
Tasila

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
