About

I am 15 years old and the last born in my family. My most difficult experience was the time when I started getting sick. I have had a health problem for a while. After going through it all, I have learnt that in spite of being sick, other people have worse conditions than me and I shouldn’t feel so unlucky. My dream is to get know the other side of the world so as to be able to know how life is there. By traveling around the world, I would be able to help people who dream many other dreams and witness when they are being granted their dreams. My happiest moment was when I heard the news that I was a member of the School Fund. It was the time when I felt proud of myself. Not only did my parents appreciate my dream but I was granted my greatest dream. Four years from now, I want to prove that I have the scholarship for what I need to accomplish.

Hi School Fund Students

Sorry it took me a while to write to you. For those of you who is receiving my journal the first time, let me introduce myself.

My name is Indy. I am currently living at the same town as Ms Judy. She and I went to high school together. I am so happy to have this opportunity to get to know you.

I used to work with computers for many many years. Do you like to use computers?

Yesterday I met with some of my old school friends for lunch. These are the friends I have for almost 50 years. We talked about our school days when we were 12 years old.
It brought many happy memories.

Do you enjoy your school? Now is the time to form good friendship with your classmates? What do you do with your classmates? Do you study together? Do you talk and share secrets? I know you have a lot of study to do. Hopefully you can find some time to do some fun stuff with your friends.

Please write back to let me know what interests you.

Until next time,
your friend,
Indy

Hello madam Judy,
Hope you are doing fine back to me am alright.Today I want to share with you about importance of government.
The followings are the importance of Government

1. It provides citizens with social services like health care, education and safe water
2. The government constructs and maintains infrastructure like roads, school buildings and hospitals.
3. Maintenance of peace and order in the country is also the role of the government. The government provides security for citizens and their property through the police and the army
4. Governments initiate and maintain relationships with other countries. The government leaders visit different countries and send ambassadors to those states. Other countries are also invited to do the same in Tanzania. Our country is a member of different international organizations including the United Nations, African Union and the Commonwealth.
5. government collects revenue for the development of the country. Citizens pay taxes to the government which, in turn, provides social services using the money collected.
6. guides the country by preparing and implementing good policies.
7. Individual rights of citizens are protected by the government.
This is all for now
HAVE A BLESSED DAY
