About

In my early life I experienced several challenges. One of the most difficult is blindness of my father; He is the one who has paid for my school requirements. I was disappointed when my dreams were in danger. In my future I plan to be a famous scientist all over the world and I am going to attain this by learning several books, listening, and putting more effort in classroom exercises. The moment that I was most proud of is the day I was selected as school head prefect. This shows me that I have leadership skills. Another proud moment was when I passed my national examination. It made me feel that I am good in the class. I hope that I will be in the university four years from now.

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.how about your Day.I am doing my things right.Welcome to amaze on the creation of God about the World.The day and night is the result of the various reasons.The motions of bodies in the solar system are, for the most part, regular and understandable. From Earth, the Sun
rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the evening. If the Moon is full on Day 1, it
will be full again on Day 28, and new on Day 14. The motions of Earth relative to the Sun, and the motions of the
Moon and Sun relative to Earth affect different phenomena on Earth, including day and night, the seasons, tides, and
phases of the Moon.
Day-Night Cycle
Earth rotates once on its axis about every 24 hours. To an observer cooling down on the North Pole, the rotation
appears counterclockwise. From nearly all points on Earth, the Sun appears to move across the sky from east to west
each day. Of course, the Sun is not moving from east to west at all; Earth is rotating. The Moon and stars also seem
to rise in the east and set in the west.
Earth’s rotation means that there is a cycle of daylight and darkness approximately every 24 hours, the length of a
day. Different places experience sunset and sunrise at different times and the amount of time a location is in daylight
and darkness also differs by location.
Shadows are areas where an object obstructs a light source so that darkness takes on the form of the object. On
Earth, a shadow can be cast by the Sun, Moon or, rarely, Mercury or Venus.

    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.
