About

A first-year Few for Change scholar, Emilia stood out among this year's applicants with her passionate and well-written essay. She told us of a French female scientist that had come to her village while studying for her geology degree, and had impressed upon her the importance of environmental conservation. From this experience, Emilia developed a profound understanding of conservation and how it could benefit her community, as well as a clear direction for her career and life's work. At just 14 years old, Emilia shows maturity, personal responsibility, and drive. Her dream is to create an organization in the Comarca to educate people about the natural environment, and to utilize and protect the services it provides for future generations.

Jan: When I leave high school I don’t want to do anything different than school, because I like to listen, to study and when I arrive at home, I help my mom with the mopping, washing and other things.

Amy L: I love to study science most because there isn’t a lot of explanations about what I don’t know. Taking care of nature is my most favorite subject because it talks about maintaining primary and secondary forest.

Hello Emelia, I have decided to sponsor you in your education through the Few For Change program that my daughter Amy is involved with. Amy came to your country as an exchange student a few years ago, and enjoyed her experience. I enjoyed reading a little about you and like that you are interested in the environment. You remind me of my daughter Amy :)
I would like to know a little about you, what your favorite subjects are and what you like to do when you are not in school. Do you have brothers and sisters?
I live in a small town with my husband, a cat and a dog. I have two daughters that are grown and two granddaughters. My husband David makes furniture for a living and I help with a lot of the finish work. I like to garden both flowers and vegetables.
I wish you all the best in your studies.
Sincerely,
Janet Lamb

Emilia - I was inspired when I read about your success in school and your vision of what you would like to do in the environmental sciences. We need people like you committed to the well being of our environment. I would love to hear what you most enjoy in and outside of school. Thanks, Jan Leimert

Dear Emilia, I wish you all the best in your studies and hope that you will be very successful in helping preserve your beautiful country. I have visited and traveled in your country and hope to do so again one day. I have a daughter who is also interested in working to save our natural resources and the environment and hope you both might meet some day and perhaps even work together. Best wishes, Stephanie

    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.

    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.

    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.
