About

I come from a family where my parents can afford food and other family expenses but it is quite hard for them to pay school fees. I attend Iringa Girls Secondary School where I always lead in my class. I am very interested in studying how the economy works. Tanzania is taking big steps to grow its economy. I want to be an economist. Being sponsored by TSF help me to achieve my dream, then I can help my country people who have problems like mine. Through TSF, our life has changed for the good.

Hello Sintike,


I am writing just to say hello, and to ask how you are doing? Also to ask how your school classes are progressing and what subjects you like the best.

I am well, the United States is going through a very difficult time politically, the people are marching in peaceful protest on the streets. It is a bit of several issues altogether, women’s rights, climate change, the United States’ place in the world, and immigration from other countries into the States.

Personally, I also think it is about our private value systems and beliefs; the rights of all citizens to education, healthcare, and racial equality; these concerns are running smack up against an older world of power and wealth.

It is a time of change in America and few of us are easy in our minds; many of the women I know are giving their time to call centers reminding people to register to vote, or writing postcards, or attending lectures or protests.

I am happy though that we live in a Democracy, and that we live in a country that allows us to express our beliefs.

Be well, I hope to hear from you.
Karen

I am enclosing a photo from a recent protest in front of our highest Court, the Supreme Court.

    It was 2009 when I started standard 1. I was very happy to start primary level. When my mother died, it was really painful to me. It is a gap which will never be filled in my heart. After the funeral, I continued my studies. I am thankful I completed the term and passed the exam to standard 2. When I was in class 2, my father was my hope but after my mother's death, he changed and did not take care of me. Instead I was raised by my relatives. In 2010, my father died too and I have lived with my grandmother ever since. I was my parents' only child. Because of these challenges, I have learned that education is the best of all worldly things, better than money which gets used up. Education is the best heritage. I will never give up the chance for education. I really appreciate being selected as a scholarship beneficiary of The School Fund. I will work hard, very hard, to achieve my dream and help less fortunate people

    My dream is to become an accountant and I will get there by studying hard. The moment that I felt proud of myself is when I learned that I passed the Standard 7 National Exams. The happiest moment in my life is when I was selected by the Ebenezer Seminary for my secondary school education. The most difficult experience I had is the death of my my best friend. He died of malaria. Malaria is a disease that can be treated. My friend could be alive if he got proper medical treatment. I learn from his death that we need to help our poor friends with their basic needs. I plan to help the orphans to make sure they can reach their dreams as I will. I will also contribute some of my salary to help the disabled people after my dream comes true.

    Carmen is one of our most dedicated students. She attends all of our events and meetings, and is eager to begin her studies. After graduating high school, she worked as a waitress in Puka Rumi, one of the best restaurants in town. Here, under the mentorship of renowned chef Alejo, she fell in love with the art of cooking and hopes to someday open her own restaurant. In her spare time, she is an athlete. Her favourite sport is volleyball, and she was the only female to compete in last year's Ollantaytambo weightlifting competition! She comes from a humble campesino (rural indigenous) family. Since her father passed away 16 years ago, she and her nine siblings have since been raised by her single mother.
