About

Poverty in early life taught me that education is the only instrument that can eliminate it. My dream for my life is to become a doctor. I will get there through working with teachers and students who have experience in science subjects, and by studying hard. I will make sure that improvement in studies take the first priority. I will work with other students and share ideas with them. I felt especially proud when I passed the Standard Seven national examination. Happiness in my life would be to succeed in my studies.

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 Jenny,I am here by explaining about climate change.
What Is Climate?
Climate is the average weather of a place over many years. It includes average temperatures. It also includes average
precipitation. The timing of precipitation is part of climate as well. What determines the climate of a place? Latitude
is the main factor. A nearby ocean or mountain range can also play a role.
Latitude and Climate
Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator. It’s measured in degrees, from 0° to 90°. Several climate
factors vary with latitude.
Latitude and Temperature
Temperature changes with latitude.

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
