About

Jackson is the first born child in a family of five children. He comes from Kaliambeu village in Mwala district. Before he joined Mbaani secondary school in 2010 he was in Kaliambeu primary school. His mother is the sole breadwinner of the family and earns a living through doing casual jobs. His father has deserted and neglected the family. Jackson walks to school every day because he cannot afford to pay the boarding fees. He has constantly been sent home for missing school fees but he is determined to achieve his goals in the future. His mother has never been able to afford any of Jackson's school fees since he joined school in January 2011; thus, Jackson has a large outstanding fee balance. Jackson is quite bright in class and hopes to get a good education to be able to support his family in the future.

Hi Alicia,

I am so happy to read your journal. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. We have opened school for the second term of the year. This being my final year in high school i am focused and working hard. I have been thinking of my future after high school. I want to attain good grades to enable me join university. I still want to study law.

I am always proud of Kenya Connect. I know that through Kenya Connect and TSF i have had the privilege to go on with my studies. I will always pray for all who made my stay in school comfortable.

You are always welcome again in Kenya and more so Wamunyu.

wishing you all the best.

Jackson.

Hi Jackson,

My name is Alicia Wrenn and I am the current Executive Director of Kenya Connect. I talk with James frequently and of course have had the pleasure of visiting Wamunyu and some of our partner schools.

It sounds like you are working hard. You are just about there in terms of a major accomplishment in your life and one that really prepares you well for either the workplace or postsecondary education. Have you been thinking through what your next steps are? I think I remember that your interests were history and the law? Both sound like noble areas of study.

I know the staff at Kenya Connect and TSF are really proud of you and wish you a strong finish to your senior year.

Best Regards,

Alicia Wrenn
