Hi,

How are you? My name is Brenda. I am happy to be writing to you. My 2020 has been okay and I thank God that am still healthy. I am happy I went back to school and look forward to finishing school by March.

I start by thanking the almighty God for being good to me through my school life. I would further like to thank the WEMA Community for giving me the necessary support in the pursuit of my dreams.

My studies are going on well at Highway Academy. The School has come up with a well-stocked library and Computer laboratory which I have found very useful in my research. My performance has been good from Form One up until now, I promise to never let you down.

My favorite subjects are Geography, Business and Biology. My teachers are excellent, they are with us all the time; this is rare and a feel privileged to learn at Highway.
My hobbies are playing football, reading storybooks and novels. I spend most of my time reading a variety of novels in the school library.

I would like to be a Geologist when I grow up and I hope to come back to my community and support children like me.

Thank you so much for your continued support

    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.
