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.
