Dear Carly, Annie, Katy, and Shannon,

Firstly I would like to great you tougher with your family. I am doing just fine here with my family, God is still blessing us.

The main pout of writing this letter is to tell you how grateful I am for the support which you are giving to me. I am very much thankful and I don't know what I can do to repay you all. What I can just say is just that I promise from deep down in my heart to work hard and to do my very best in school. Further more, I would just pray to God so that your days are prolonged on earth so that you may continue with your support.

In addition I would also love to tell you a story of how I spent my holiday last December. I, together with my sister, went to visit our father who is currently staying with our stepmother. They welcomed us very well. I had a lot of fun because we had the opportunity to see their place. On the way back we saw a very big river, some mountains and even some very nice birds. This was very interesting to both me and my sister. When we reached home we found my mom had prepared a very big nshima with chicken which is my favorite meal!

In conclusion, I would like to just say thank you very much for everything. May Jehovah our God continue blessing you and repaying you back.

Yours Beatrice

Hello Beatrice,

Greetings from East Lyme High School in the state of Connecticut, USA! We are so excited to be your sponsor (Mamma Linda deposited money raised by our Chikumbuso Club last school year on matching day). We have started a Chikumbuso Club at our school to raise money and awareness to assist the Chikumbuso community. My students will be contacting you to find about how you are doing in school and what life is like where you live! We are so excited to be in touch! I wish you the best of luck in school! Dream big!

Best Wishes,
Mrs. Saglio

Hello, Beatrice! I am so glad that you are continuing in school. My husband always says that the most important part of school is "learning how to learn" because you will always be learning new things throughout your whole life. Best wishes for your success!

Beatrice,

This Sunday, in the United States we celebrate Mothers Day. I would like to give this donation in honor of my mom Sabrina. I hope that you will work as hard as she does to give back to others. Keep studying, and remember Chikumbuso in your heart. You need to get good marks, and finish grade 12 so you can support your children one day, and teach them to be leaders!

Dear Sponsor,

Greetings to you and your family. How are you doing with your family? As for me, I am doing well and I am happy. I am very grateful for everything you have done for me and for Chikumbuso. For now i am writing my end of term exams. I want to pass my exams so that you will be so happy that I am doing well. Passing my exams will help me to be a doctor when I grow up. I want to be a doctor because i want to help people in other countries.

    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.
