I have made great progress this year, especially in languages. I have started writing short stories, and my teachers say I have a talent for it! My goal of becoming a teacher is stronger than ever. I am grateful for your kindness, which has given me the chance to keep learning and growing.
Greetings! My name is Mercy Barasa, and I am a Grade 9 student. Your assistance has provided me with the opportunity to grow both academically and personally. I enjoy learning new things every day and hope to inspire others by becoming a teacher one day. I want to give back to my community by helping young students pursue their dreams, just as you have helped me pursue mine. Thank you for your continued support!

    Kenya

    Emmaculate is the last born in a family of three; one sister and one brother. Her parents rely on subsistence farming for livelihood, which has been greatly affected by the changing climate. While in primary school, Emmaculate spent most of the time at home while the other students were at school. This was because of lack of finances to cater for some of the requirements at school. This did not stop her but instead propelled her towards achieving her dream of becoming a cardiologist in order to save lives. Her role model is Barack Obama and she likes his phrase of ‘Yes we can’. Moreover, she likes reading story books during her free time.
