Hi donors, I hope that you are very fine.It is indeed very long since I last wrote to you.I am very fine working towards my goal.The term has been very short, so I had to equip myself very well.I really appreciate for funding my education over time. Currently,I am staying with my parents at home.We are making arrangements so that we at least grow something on our tiny farm.The rains have not yet started but there are indications that it is about to rain.My main aim to write to you was to appreciate you and inform you that we have closed the school for the end of year break. I really struggled with the exam for it was not an easy one for it meant reading the full year work but eventually performed well. In school I have made worthy friends who have initiated me positively in my education.We are approaching December and therefore,we are making arrangements so as to celebrate the birth of Jesus vividly.Since we have closed schools,we will be opening for another term on ninth January next year. I am very grateful to have an access on the outside world through the computers and televisions in our school.May your pockets never run dry and may the most high give you blessings of each type.My family wishes you a very nice time,a merry christmass and a happy new year. Be blessed.

Hello donors, How are you going on?I hope that you are fine.I am also fine and very happy to inform that I joined a national secondary school and it is one of the best and highly performing schools in our country. It is a dream come true for me because I have always wanted to join a national school. The distance from home to our school is very long. It actually takes me close to 10 hours to get to the school.
We have come home for a holiday break. The term has been a beehive of activities including games,exams and educational trips. The climate at school is not that much favorable. The school is situated in a high land and this makes the weather to be very cold. Another unique thing about the area where my school is located is that it rains almost daily and hence the main crop grown is tea and the county is the biggest producer of tea in Kenya.Our school is. I have known how to plant some crops such because I take Agriculture.
I will be going back to school at the end of this month for my third term. I have improved in my grades and I promise to improve more.
Many thanks for funding my education and helping me to stay in school without being send home for school fees. May your pockets be blessed and may you be blessed with good health and everything good.
I wish you all a nice time.
