About

James has been brought up by both parents who are farmers and work so hard to meet their basic needs. James and the family were displaced from Narok during the post-election violence and later shifted to one of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps located in Maai-Mahiu where they have been living since 2007. They live a difficult life in which even affording a meal each day is a big hassle.

Hi James,
Hello from Texas!
Good to hear you are continuing your education. Wow, the River Between is a serious novel. You have had to grow up fast to know about such struggles. My son's favorite animal is the veiled chameleon. Do you have chameleons in Kenya? Our coastal town is dry and hot but the ocean is full of stingrays and jellyfish!

We think of you often and want to visit your town.

Hi
They say love is a gift and also a feeling.That is why you felt it right to bring some simplifications in my life by deciding to bear the burden of my school fees.
May this feeling of love continue existing in you to the end of your time in this planet.
Know that I really love and appreciate your concern.May God shower you with blessings.
Have a nice time.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
