Class Rank: 6/88 I felt proud when I passed my National Exam, also when I helped my friend to learn who to read and write. My happiest time is when I performed well in the class and got the top grade. My most difficult experience is when my father told us that we are not his children, I don't even know who is my real father. I felt sad but I determined to live a better life in the future. I learned that in order to live in good environment I need to study hard and work hard. My dream job is to become accountant, it is a well paid job. I will then have money to help community orphans. After that I shall build a school to help people who have no money for their children's education. I shall also help the School Fund to pay school fees for students who are selected.

Class Rank: 6 I was born in 1998, I am in Form 2 class at Iringa Girls' School. I live with my uncle, my parents died. My uncle is a small scale farmer, so he can not pay all the school contributions. So sometime I am late to come back school because of money. I know though education can achieve my dreams. I believe if I get a help I will perform well in my studies. I believe education is the key of my life. If I complete my studies, I will help others with problem like me.

Class Rank: 8/88 The most difficult experience I had in my early life is when I got sent back home from school because of school fees. My parents could not do anything since they had no money. It really gave me a lot of pain, I felt bad. I wished I could be at school study just like other students. At that time I learned that life is just like a roller coaster, sometimes you might be at the top and sometime at the bottom. For sure I felt proud of myself when I finished/completed my Standard 7 studies because I was the 1st from our school and also within the whole school district. Here I would like to thank the School Fund for sponsor me to continue my education. I am so happy and grateful. In the future when I complete my school and get my dream job, I would also like to help other students as I'm been helped now.

I am the oldest in a family of two children. I come from Iringa but now I live in Dar es Salaam with my mother. I completed my ordinary education level last year and now am taking pre-form 5 studies. I have never seen my father since I was born. My mother has no work so that she cannot pay the school fees and all the necessities of school. I went to school even though I had nothing. I hope that difficult situation never repeats in my life. I was very happy when I found out that I was among the students sponsored by TSF. I want to be a doctor of children. In education, I believe "my effort today, will determine my life tomorrow, and help others".

I am the only girl in my family. I have a younger brother. I live with mother as my father does not live with my mother. My mother is a small peasant so she cannot manage to pay school fees. Sometimes I don't come to school at a right time because she has no money for bus fares. My ambition is to be a doctor, and I believe education is the key of my life. Someone asked how I am going to achieve my goal without money since my family is poor. I believe that I can. TSF is on my side. I am very thankful.

Class Rank: 10/88 The most difficult experience I had early in life is when I got sent back home from school because my parents were unable to pay my school fees. I learn that attending school is a privilege, I treasure it and always put my best effort into study. My happiest moment in life it is when I passed my exam. My dream is to grow up to be a dentist. After my dream comes true, I will help those children who lost their parent(s) and street children to study. I will also help those young people who can't support their basic needs. I thank the School Fund for helping me reaching my dream. I will donate to the School Fund to continue support other students.

Class Rank: 13/88 The most difficult experience in my life was the death of my mother. I learn to live without a mother. My dream is to become a lawyer, I will get there by studying hard in school. I feel the joy of accomplishment when I am able to comprehend my subjects, even after long hours of study. I shall promote gender equality in my community and to educate them about the importance of education. They can live a better life by getting a higher education.

I thank the mighty Lord gave me this happy family, not like those street children on the roads. What I promise to give back to the School Fund is to help those street children. Give them an opportunity of education as I received from the School Fund, so that they will have a better life. Thank you very much the School Fund for sponsor me.
