Hello donors,
How are you? I am very fine and I hope you are too. It is my first time to write to you and I am very excited about it. I joined a very good secondary school which is helping me to achieve my goals. Teachers in my new school are very friendly and they teach us very well to understanding.
Life was not easy for the first weeks because I did not have friends in the new school and I was also not familiar with the new environment. I would actually get lost almost every time I went for bathroom breaks, but as weeks went by, I got used to the new environment and I mastered my class and my dorm.
I take 12 subjects unlike in primary school where I took 6 subjects. They are not hard except for Computer studies which I find it a bit challenging because I had never learnt about it until I joined secondary school. My best subject is history because it helps me appreciate the changes we have had in our culture as well as living standards.
we wake up at 4:00 am for our morning preps which is earlier than the time I used to wake up when I was in primary school. I have adapted to this wake up time.
I have improved in my academics and I am still working hard to achieve more.
My gratitude goes out to you for donating towards my school fees. i have been able to stay in school and read smoothly. May you be blessed and increased.
Have a nice time ahead.

    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.

    Kenya

    Matata is a daring young boy who believes that success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. He is the last born in a family of four. His parents are unemployed and largely depend on subsistence farming, which has been negatively affected by frequent severe droughts. Most of the rural roads in his village are very impassable and this has pushed him towards achieving his dream of becoming an engineer. Since Matata was a young boy, he has always liked playing football not only at home but also in school and he was the goalkeeper for his school team.
