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.

    I live with my mother. My father passed away when I completed standard seven. I want to be an engineer. I give effort and attention so that I can perform well on my exams. My dream is to be a mechanical engineer but due to my poor family background I was afraid that I could not make it. But with the aid of TSF I believe that I will be able to fulfill it. I was happy and excited when I was selected for A-levels because of my national examination results. My family feels proud to have a daughter like me.

    I am a form 5 student. Before reaching A-level education, I faced difficult moments especially in school matters. It was hard for my parents to pay my school fees and other expenses. They had to depend on other relatives but they could not provide anything essential to my studies. I reached a time when gave hope but my parents encouraged me a lot. I made more effort and succeeded in joining form 5 at Lugalo Secondary School. If I can become a surgeon, it will help me to have good life and help my family and other people who face health problems but cannot afford payment for treatments. I hope to get there by making more effort in my studies. The moment that I felt proud of myself was in 2016, when I become the overall winner of essay competition in the Dar-es-Salaam region and was given lots of gifts. The happiest moment in my life was when the School Fund chose to sponsor me. I am really happy this moment because I am seeing the light of achieving my goals. Two years from now, I want to have completed my form 6 national examination and be at Muhimbili University or another big university taking the courses I need. I am thankful for this chance. I promise to help others because you helped me to meet my dreams.
