About

I am the first been in my family and I have four siblings. My follower and I sat for our class eight national examination . We scored good marks. My father is a carpenter and what he earns is not enough to take both of us to secondary school, pay rent, and educate our younger siblings in primary school. I love mathematics and I hope to pursue medicine in future. Life in Kibera has not been the most desirable but I hope to work hard in school to change this.

Cathleen,
I agree. It becomes difficult when we make mistakes and they commit the same mistakes and it puts in a place of no or little authority to correct them.
The plays we have here are usually composed by the drama patrons and they change depending on the themes which are given by the ministry of education. this means that my roles will always change time to time. Being a junior member of the club, I play backup roles mostly. I hope this will change in the coming years.
Thanks for your wishes and I too wish you all the best in Massachusetts.
Hi Lillan,
I am also the oldest in my family - we have to be leaders for our brothers and sisters, right?
I'd love to know more about what you do in drama - what plays you are studying, what kind of roles you play.
But most of all, I hope you have a great school year!
