About

Teddy lives in Ng'ombe with his 25 year old cousin. His mother moved to the other side of Lusaka with his sisters to a more affordable area. They left Teddy with his cousin so that he could stay in school and because his mother couldn't afford a house big enough for him and his sisters. Teddy doesn't get to visit his mother and sisters often, and he misses them terribly. His cousin provides for him by working as a cleaner at a local grocery store. Teddys favorite thing to do is play futbol on the weekend with his team, the Super Eagles. Teddy likes school every much because it teaches him to be a good and successful person. Teddy understands how big of an impact being sponsored would have on his life. It would mean he could stay in school and he would have all the materials he needs to support his education. Teddy achieved the 2nd position in his class at Ng'ombe PTA school.

Our Dearest Sponsors,

How are you doing, your families and friends? As for me I am fine and they are fine too. We recently opened our school for the new term which is term three, the last term in grade eight, so I will be in grade 9.

I just want to thank all of our donor sponsors for the support and contribution you have given me to start this new term very well, for you have given your money for me to start the term at the beginning of the term. May our good Lord bless you, thank you very much.

    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.
