Hello friends? I hope you are fine. I am also fine. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for donating towards my school fees.
It is my first time to write to you and I am very excited about it. I would like to let you know how my new school life is and how I have been doing since I joined secondary school. I wake up very early in the morning and prepare for my morning preps which start at 5:30 a.m, which is a bit earlier than than the start time of preps in my former primary school.
While in primary school, I was taking seven subjects whereas in secondary school am taking eleven subjects which I am trying my level best to achieve best grades. I met new and nice people in my secondary school who welcomed me warmly. This made me adapt to the new school life faster.
Waking up very early has not been easy but I am adapting to the new wake up times. Our school is built near a hill and this makes the climate very cold. I have acquired several sweaters and leg warmers which help keep me warm especially in this cold season.
We have friendly teachers who teach us very well and encourage us to continue reading smart to achieve our goals and dreams. They also encourage us to ask questions where we don`t understand.
Last term we had ball games in our school, and luckily I was among the best players and I was rewarded.
Life in secondary school has been smooth because of your generous contributions. I have never miss classes because I have never been sent home for school fees. I pray that lord will continue to bless your pockets. Pass my greetings to your families and I wish you all a nice time ahead.
Good bye!

    Kenya

    I am the only child of a single mother. She works as a casual laborer and this helps in putting food on our table. Secondary education in Kenya is very expensive and this would require extra source of income which is not available at the moment. We live in the slums of Kibera. This is the largest slum in Kenya and poverty rate is very high. I work hard in school with one ultimate goal, to break the cycle of poverty. They say education is the best way and I believe in this philosophy.

    Ahmed Daud Osman is a 15 year old from Hargeisa, Somaliland. He was raised in the Hargeisa Orphanage, and enrolled at Abaarso School of Science and Technology two years ago. He is now entering the ninth grade and is excited to begin a new year. Ahmed’s favorite subjects are math and science. In the future, he wants to be a professor. “Somaliland has many universities, but the education is not good. I want to teach the adults,” he says. Ahmed is not only compassionate, but also deeply introspective. When asked what is the most important lesson he’s learned at Abaarso, he took a moment to reply. “I learned how to be patient when you meet challenges.”

    Tanzania

    I am from a nuclear family with poor economic status. We depend on a small plot of farm. Paying for my school needs is difficult. At the beginning of the first term of my school, I hoped to do better in my class and now I am. I worked with carpenters during the break in order to pay school requirements. It was difficult to keep reviewing in mind what we learned for the whole term. My father did not go to secondary school and he doesn't understand the value of education. My dream is to be an engineer I can reach this by learning good skills.
