Hello. This last terms has been good and I've learnt a lot. The materials are a bit more difficult and I've had to get used to the greater demands. This is my final year though and I'm doing everything I can to dedicate myself to making the most of it. Thank you very much indeed!

I've started my final year at high school! I'm trying to do a lot of studying as I really want to go to university, but it's not easy to get a place. Thank you very much for your help. I am very grateful for your support.

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
