Dear Sponsors,

Greetings to you all in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. I'm hoping you are all fine together with your families. As for me, I'm fine and everything here is okay.

Talking about my academic school program at school, we are okay because this term is the last one in grade eight. Next year I will be going into examinations class which is grade nine. I am very sure to continue with my good performance even though some subjects are still difficult for me.

Away from school, on the 24th of October, 2104 we were celebrating the Zambian Golden Jubilee at the National Hero's Stadium. I even took part in the performance and it was really nice dancing in from of a very big crowd which came to support me and my fellow friends. Even members of parliament, and the first President of Zambia came to celebrate. I was really honored and humbled because I never expected them to be there.

That is all I have for you today. May the Lord be with you forever and ever.

Yours, Beatrice Phiri
Dear Beatrice -

My children also had chicken pox when they were younger; I hope that it did not keep you out of school too long.

Recently, my husband retired after 40 years with his company and we were able to take a holiday in the cool mountains away from the heat and humidity of our town. We saw big schools and very small schools as we traveled - it is the season of learning!

Praying that you have a very good school term,
**Katy Manck

    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.

    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.
