Hello, Najma.

I am so happy to see you continuing your education. I know you will do wonderful things with your life. It is almost my birthday, and I asked my family to send money to your education fund instead of buying me a gift. I hope you get to your goal very soon.

I am a retired teacher, and I know that your education will take you very far in life. I wish you all of the very best.

Best wishes,

Kristin

    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.
