Hi Students!

I just read all the journal entries I have received since October. Such wonderful letters! I am so impressed by how mature and articulate you have become. I’m realizing that I have now been reading some of your journals for 5 years. When I look at your photos, I don’t recognize the child I first knew. You are teenagers now.
I especially love the stories that some of you told in your journals. Moral tales, I call them.

So congratulations for working so hard. I’m hoping you will achieve your goals, go to a university if you want, and become productive members of your community, and able to help others as you have been helped.

I am enjoying retirement. My age of 76 is bringing on a bit of health problems, like arthritis, but I keep active physically and don’t let it stop me from doing what I love to do.

I read a lot. I travel. I go to jazz concerts in San Francisco. I would love to return to Kenya and Tanzania for a visit. I’d love to visit your school. Maybe it will happen. Who knows?

So keep up the great efforts. I know it can’t be easy, but this is such a wonderful opportunity.

Very fondly, Susan

Hello Jonathan. Energy,is very crucial in our life as explained.
If you read a book beneath a lit lamp, that lamp has energy from electricity. The energy to make the electricity comes
from fuel. Fuel has energy that it releases. A fuel is any material that can release energy in a chemical change.
What are some examples of fuel, and what are they used for?
For a fuel to be useful, its energy must be released in a way that can be controlled. Controlling the release of energy
makes it possible for the energy to be used to do work. When fuel is used for its energy, it is usually burned, and
most of the energy is released as heat. The heat may then be used to do work. Think of a person
striking a match to set some small twigs on fire. After the twigs burn for a while, they get hot enough to make some
larger sticks burn. The fire keeps getting hotter, and soon it is hot enough to burn whole logs. Pretty soon the fire is
roaring, and a pot of water placed on the fire starts to boil. Some of the liquid water evaporates

    Class Rank: 3/70 When I grow up I want to be an engineer and be a good person in my society. I will feel very happy when I get there. The most difficult thing in my life was when my parents got sick, because we didn't know how to take care of them. I learned that we all feel stronger when we have gpod information. When I study hard and get a good performance I feel proud of myself. I plan to take a part of my salary and give back to the School Fund. So more children can get educated just like myself.

    Aida

    Mozambique

    Aida was born in Nampula province. She is a very quiet girl, friendly, intelligent and likes to play with her friends of the same age in the neighborhood she lives. When the girl was 2 years old, her parents separated for social reasons. The father died in 2011, victim of disease. Even separated, the father helped to support his daughter while living with her mother in Nampula. After her father's death, the family moved to Beira and began to face many difficulties; even the mother having gotten a job as a cleaner, her earnings are not enough to pay the school expenses. As Aida is a very good student and hardworking, she deserves help for her dreams to become true.
