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

    Kenya

    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. Since Matata was a young boy, he has always liked playing football not only at home but also in school and he was the goalkeeper for his school team.
