About

Ever since I was a little child, I wanted to be a designer and knew I could get there by studying hard. I felt so proud of myself when I passed the national exam, as my parents wished. I was very happy. It was difficult for me when my parents did not have enough money for my school fees. I learned that I should never give up on education. One day I will be able to help my parents and also other students who are in need like me.

Hi Students!

I just read all the journal entries I have received since October. Such wonderful letters! I am so impressed by how mature and articulate you have become. I’m realizing that I have now been reading some of your journals for 5 years. When I look at your photos, I don’t recognize the child I first knew. You are teenagers now.
I especially love the stories that some of you told in your journals. Moral tales, I call them.

So congratulations for working so hard. I’m hoping you will achieve your goals, go to a university if you want, and become productive members of your community, and able to help others as you have been helped.

I am enjoying retirement. My age of 76 is bringing on a bit of health problems, like arthritis, but I keep active physically and don’t let it stop me from doing what I love to do.

I read a lot. I travel. I go to jazz concerts in San Francisco. I would love to return to Kenya and Tanzania for a visit. I’d love to visit your school. Maybe it will happen. Who knows?

So keep up the great efforts. I know it can’t be easy, but this is such a wonderful opportunity.

Very fondly, Susan

Hello Susan.Again i am here to write to you as a response to your journal. Let me share about the topic.i know that water is so crucial to human life
Causes Weather?
Weather occurs because of unequal heating of the atmosphere. The source of heat is the sun. The general principles
behind weather can be stated simply:
•
cause some of the water to evaporate.
•
surface air is wind.
•
may form, and precipitation may fall.
Weather and the Water Cycle
The water cycle plays an important role in weather. When liquid water evaporates, it causes humidity. When water
vapor condenses, it forms clouds and precipitation. Humidity, clouds, and precipitation are all important weather
