About

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.

Hi friends how are you? I hope you are fine. on my side I am fine. I am very excited to write to you and I take this golden opportunity to tell you how life has been since I joined secondary school. Life has been going very well with some changes which I am trying to adapt to. In our school we are given enough food.Teachers in our school are friendly and they teach us well.The climate in our school is very cold. At my primary level I used to do six subjects but now I am doing eleven subjects. In my new school we wake up very early in the morning than in my former school which helps me in revision.

I thank you for the support that you accord me in my studies. Thank you for every coin that you sacrifice for me to stay in school and I promise that I will never disappoint you. May God bless you that you may continue helping others.
