About

Joseph is an orphan who has suffered many things. After the death of his father, who was always quarreling with the mother, he went back to his mother's father. Later, the mother remarried in the Western Province of Kenya and took back custody of Joseph. The second father disliked the boy and refused to provide for the basic needs. Now he is happy to be at the Ah-gah-pay Mercy Children Centre – Kenya where his needs are met. He is a very bright boy in his academic work. His ambition is to be a bus driver. During the 2008 violence, Joseph and his family were kicked out of their house and went back to his grandfather. The mother is unemployed and the grandfather has no source of income to care for the family and educate the boy. He was at-risk of dropping out of school and going to the streets to seek ways of survival. His favorite subject is English. His favorite game is athletics while his favorite food is chapati and cabbage. Please sponsor him to help him achieve his dreams.

Hello Joseph,

Thinking of you!

Debbie
Good morning Joseph,
We are so excited to become partners in your education. I am an English teacher and my husband is a retired bus driver, so it is a perfect match. I will be very excited to learn what you are doing in school, so feel free to write and tell us all about your life and your schooling. Blessings on your studies and your life! Char and Tim
P.s. The picture is of my husband and my 95 year old mother! She still loves to learn even at her age!
We are a family of two parents and three boys. They are 7, 12 and 16 and anxious to learn about where you live and what your favorite subjects are to study. We all travel around the United States for work. Can you tell us a bit about where you live and what your school is like?

Glad to provide the support to such a worthy cause! The Weed Family.
Hi!

Hi Joseph,
Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the D+, but I'm sure if you keep working hard you'll start to see more improvement. Very proud of you - keep it up!

To the School Fund:

How are you? I hope you are fine and well protected by God. I closed school on Wednesday 06.08.2014 for August holiday. I did my end of term two exam but the results are not yet out but I have the results of opener exam and midterm exam combined and i managed to score a D+ which was not a good grade to me. I am working hard to eliminate D’s and C’s in my results. I am reporting back to school on Tuesday 02.09.2014.I am thankful to you for paying my school fees. May God bless you abundantly.
Hi Joseph, Good luck in school!
Hello Joseph.

It has been a long time since I was at school but I loved it! School gave me knowledge and equipped me with the tools for logic and critical thinking that have allowed me to enjoy a successful working life. I really hope you enjoy your time at school and I look forward to hearing about what you are studying and learning!

Wishing you enjoyment and success,
Lee J.

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.

    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.

    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.
