About

During my early life I faced a lot of challenges but the most difficult one was when I was in an accident. My right leg was broken and I was unable to walk It took me several years to recover. I was unable to attend school because of this situation and the financial position of my parents who cannot support me much. It is amazing that today I am 21 years old and in form 1. I learnt that education is for all ages. My dream is to become a farmer through skills that I can acquire from school. I like agricultural science as a subject because it is my way to success. I hope one day I will be self-employed and have a good life. In our country, there is enough land for agriculture to employ us all.

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 old are you because i like to listen from most of the elders.
Oral traditions
This refers to the history handed down by word of mouth from one generation to another. It is usually done by talking and listening usually by elders who are believed to be more knowledgeable about past events. It is also the study of our past as revealed by what has been handed down by word of mouth from one generation to another. Its manner of transmission differs from written sources thus making it a historical source of a special nature. Oral traditions are widely used in areas where people did not practice the art of writing.
