About

My early life has been so challenging. The first problem was when my father suffered from illness. I faced difficulties in paying school requirements; my mother doesn’t have a job so she was unable to support us with school fees. I had a little support from my uncle but later he ignored us. This situation disappointed me. From it, I realize that working hard is the way to perform well academically. I was happy when I am selected for secondary education. With my effort I will reach my dream to become a journalist. Four years from now I will be in form 5 in our country.

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 are you. I like to read your journal because it has a lot to learn about it.I would like to give you some of the topic in history i cross over this term.
Through the study of historical sites we can reveal the works of art by previous generations for example rock paintings etc. As time went on more historical sites are being discovered due to extensive research being carried out. The remains that are discovered in the historical sites are worked on by archaeologists.
The major function of historical sites is to represent actual materials of man’s existence and preserving the material remains of man for the coming generation, plus acting as symbol of social heritage and referral point to the society that are concerned
