About

Crispus is the second born child in a family of two. His mother is single and lost her employment last year. Without formal employment the burden of taking care of her two children has become a challenge. She currently relies on well-wishers to support her daughterÕs secondary education. Despite many challenges he faced, Crispus emerged the best student in his school and his dream is to become a civil engineer to help solve the problem of dilapidated roads in his village and across the country.Ê

Hello Crispus! I am so happy to hear from you. It must have been fun to have your school host the games!

Recently my family and I went to Iceland. It's a country that's an island in the northern hemisphere (between Europe and North America). While there we saw the continental divide-- one of two in the world. The other one is located in the Rift Valley in Kenya! We actually stood between the tectonic plates. We also saw a geyser--hot water spurting from he ground and the Northern lights. I've attached a few pictures including me and my husband Mike.

I am so happy to hear that you are studying hard. Use the break time to prepare for the exams. I know you will reach your dreams and be a leader in the community.

Take good care and I'll keep you in my prayers,

Sharon (Mutanu)

Hello!
It´s my hope that you are doing well.My second term has been good and I have continued to prepare myself for the final exam at the end of the year.I would also want to mention that our school hosted the secondary school ball games this year. I had an opportunity to participate in hockey but we were knocked out.However,this served as chance for me to direct my mind and energy into academics.
Putting that aside,I am really appreciative for standing with me in my academics through your generous contribution.It remains vivid in my mind that excellence in my academics is the only thing that can reciprocate your efforts that you have put to see me have a smooth academic progression.I am confident that I will achieve a good grade that I will propel me into the next level of education,pursue my dream career and become a reliable person in the society.With only one term remaining,I will work extra smart and make sure I gather as much content as possible in preparation for that ultimate exam.
Thank you so much and have a wonderful time filled with God´s blessings.

    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.
