Hello. I feel fine, because by staying at home we are avoiding being infected by Covid 19. But I don't like it, because I don't always understand the lessons - sometimes I do but sometimes I don't. I miss being in my school with my friends. It's bearable though because I've been spending more time at home with my family.
Last year I had a hard time at school and I didn't have any friends. But this year is much better. Now I've got a scholarship I feel motivated. I'm going to a new school and have a friend who is helping me in lots of ways. I get on well with all the teachers and am doing all my homework!

    Matata

    Kenya

    Matata is a daring young boy who believes that success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. He is the last born in a family of four. His parents are unemployed and largely depend on subsistence farming, which has been negatively affected by frequent severe droughts. Most of the rural roads in his village are very impassable and this has pushed him towards achieving his dream of becoming an engineer. Since Matata was a young boy, he has always liked playing football not only at home but also in school and he was the goalkeeper for his school team.
