My name is Dennis Wanjala one of the Form Four students of Highway Academy. I would first like to thank the Almighty God and the WEMA Community for the support you have granted me thus far.

Since I joined Form One in the year Twenty Fifteen, I have witnessed many positive changes in my education. Coming from a Government Owned Primary School that had few or no books and very few teachers serving many students, Highway was a game changer in my educational journey. I have access to enough books in the school library and more material in the school Computer Lab in which I have acquired many skills including; typing and printing.

I read storybooks in the library to build on my command of the English language and I hope that one day I will stunt people with how I speak English.

Growing up, I would like to be a University Lecturer. It’s all tanks to you since I would never have reached this point without you.

    I am the only child of a single mother. She works as a casual laborer and this helps in putting food on our table. Secondary education in Kenya is very expensive and this would require extra source of income which is not available at the moment. We live in the slums of Kibera. This is the largest slum in Kenya and poverty rate is very high. I work hard in school with one ultimate goal, to break the cycle of poverty. They say education is the best way and I believe in this philosophy.

    Somalia

    Ahmed Daud Osman is a 15 year old from Hargeisa, Somaliland. He was raised in the Hargeisa Orphanage, and enrolled at Abaarso School of Science and Technology two years ago. He is now entering the ninth grade and is excited to begin a new year. Ahmed’s favorite subjects are math and science. In the future, he wants to be a professor. “Somaliland has many universities, but the education is not good. I want to teach the adults,” he says. Ahmed is not only compassionate, but also deeply introspective. When asked what is the most important lesson he’s learned at Abaarso, he took a moment to reply. “I learned how to be patient when you meet challenges.”

    Tanzania

    I am from a nuclear family with poor economic status. We depend on a small plot of farm. Paying for my school needs is difficult. At the beginning of the first term of my school, I hoped to do better in my class and now I am. I worked with carpenters during the break in order to pay school requirements. It was difficult to keep reviewing in mind what we learned for the whole term. My father did not go to secondary school and he doesn't understand the value of education. My dream is to be an engineer I can reach this by learning good skills.
