About

Elijah is the fourth born in a family of five. Their father neglected the family and left his mother the burden of providing for the family. The mother lost her business last year due to Covid-19 and now does casual jobs to support two of her daughters in secondary school. At home Elijah could not study well due to lack of reliable source of light. He used to wake up very early to make it to school in order to utilize the electricity at the school. Managing time well and consulting teachers made him excel in his studies. He aspires to be an aeronautical engineer and making new discoveries. His academic path so far has taught him that every successful person has a painful story. Elijah likes swimming.

Hello donors,
I hope you are going on well.My family and I we are also doing well.

I am writing this journal to inform you that we have closed school for a three weeks holiday.The term has been too short due to many activities like the extra-curicullum activities like drama festivals where we went up to the national levels.We did not qualify to the next level.

I am working hard and smart to achieve my target in the final exam this year.I believe hard work pays.

During the holiday,I will continue working hard to prepare for the exam.I will be visiting the library to do more research .I appreciate for your support that keeps me in school without being send for school fees.Goodbye and have a nice time.

    I plan to grow up to be a Doctor, because I have seen many people have health problem. My happiest moment is when I was chosen to enter Form-1 after I completed primary level school. Not every child can enter Form-1, it is a privilege. I am so proud of myself. After I fulfill my Doctor dream, I will build a lot of hospitals. People can get medical services when they are sick. I plan to give back to the School Fund portion of my salary. Also I would like to join this organization to help other children to go to school and get educated.

She aspires to be an Officer in the Indian Army because she wants to do something for her nation and her family. She wants to make her parents proud of her.
