I am currently eleventh grader at ASST. My favorite classes are English and chemistry. I participate the community service which I teach the orphanage kids in Gabiley (GOP). I do not face such difficulties as when I was new to the school. Every thing is going smooth and successful. I am currently planning to make running club for the boys. One of the things that i enjoy is doing cross country. Moreover, my favorite food is spaghetti with fish. Finally, I am working hard and looking forward to succeed in the near future.

Dear sponsorships, my name is Bashir Hassan, I am ninth grade student at Abaarso School Science and Technology. My term 2 is just started. The first term was challenging since I became upper school. All the classes were challenging and hard since we started the year. My favorite class so far is science class, because I am really interesting in to learn how do scientist discover new stuff from the past.

We had a short vacation between term 2 and term 1. That vacation were really great. I rested a lot that I got enough sleep, I used to play different kinds of sports at that time, I visit my classmates and my families in different places. I started term 2 with a fresh mind and ready to learn. So far term 2 is going as successfully to me. My goal for the term is to improve my GPA a lot as much as I can, and I hope that will happen. Thank you.

    Matata is a daring young boy who believes that success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. He is the last born in a family of four. His parents are unemployed and largely depend on subsistence farming, which has been negatively affected by frequent severe droughts. Most of the rural roads in his village are very impassable and this has pushed him towards achieving his dream of becoming an engineer.
