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.

Hello Fiona--

It is lovely to read your note. I am pleased that my support is helping you stay in school.

What is your favorite subject? Do you have a career goal? While at Kenya Connect, did you borrow any books to read? Reading is one of the most important things you can do to improve your grades in all subjects. I love to read and I read every day. It always brings me to new places and I love enjoying a story.

I just visited Washington, DC, the United State's capital, for a wedding. It is a beautiful city with many beautiful buildings. The wedding was at the top a sky scraper so we could look down and see all the buildings and the Potomac river.

The season of spring is upon us in the U.S. Our trees are starting to leaf after the cold of winter and our flowers are blooming. It's really pretty.

Keep working hard in school and read as much as you can.
