About

There are 8 people in Johnny's household: his mother and father, five brothers and sisters, and himself. Johnny calls himself number four - he has three older and two younger siblings. They all live in a large village in the mountains in a house with three small rooms and a patio. His father, mother and older brothers earn a living locally in agriculture, but the work is seasonal and insecure. Johnny has been doing well at school. He's particularly keen on maths but likes anything technical. His dream is to be able to qualify as an electrical engineer. When he's not at school or helping at home, he likes to play the guitar.

Hello. Our family life has changed because of Covid-19. I've had to be quite disciplined in my studies because this is my final year at school. I've learnt to appreciate the efforts of my parents more - they've had to go out to work in spite of their fear of the virus. This has made me more determined to complete my school work and do well, so we can all have a better future. We are all well, and thank you very much indeed for your support.

Hello. This is my third year in this school, and I'm going to graduate at the end of this year. I like this school. The only problems is that the teachers have too much to do, and sometimes we have too much free time.

    Enoch Kisavi

    Kenya

    Enoch comes from a humble family of two and he is the first born child. His parents are unemployed and depend on casual jobs to sustain their family and thus unable to raise his secondary school fees. Despite staying home for most of the time throughout his primary education due to lack of school levies, his dream to become a mechanical engineer has kept her focused. Enoch has seen a number of people in his area struggle too much when their machines and engines break down and there is no one to help repair them. He would also like to help the needy and poor families support their children in becoming better persons in the future. His hobbies are drawing and taking photographs. He holds on to the quote that says the road to success is not straight.
