This year, I focused on excelling in physics and chemistry. I hope to become an engineer one day, and my teachers have been very encouraging. I also joined the school’s environmental club, where we promote tree planting. Thank you for believing in me!
Hello, I’m Richard Juma, a Grade 9 student at Wema Children's Centre. I am incredibly thankful for your support, which allows me to attend school and pursue my dreams. The school provides a wonderful environment for learning and personal growth. I am passionate about the environment and hope to become an environmental scientist in the future to help protect our planet. Your kindness inspires me to work hard every day. Thank you!
