Good morning Tasila, Greetings from chilly and foggy California.

I enjoyed reading about your Golden Jubilee dance performance. It takes a lot of practice for a large group of performers to spell words and make pictures on a field.

Well done.

Greetings always,

I just want to say thank you for your support and everything you are doing for me and I really really appreciate it. I am very grateful and happy for you. I war you to know that you guys are always in my heart and my thoughts. I am always praying for you that you are well.

However, I just want to say thank you for your support, it's only God who can reward you. I will just keep on praying that he continues given you guys blessings. I was one of those who were dancing at the celebration of the Golden Jubilee for Zambia's Independence at the national Hero's Stadium. The performance started at 23:00 and I was in Act 3 where we danced to spell different things like the national flower and a drum. After that we all came together on stager to make something like 1964-2014. I love my mother country, Zambia. The program ended there, and I really enjoyed it.

Dear sponsors,

I hope you and the rest of the family are all well as for us in Zambia everything is very well. School is just OK and we corrected the end of term results and I think I have improved comparing with what I did last term.

Don’t forget that I always remember you in prayers. I pray for you that you are well and happy and that everything goes well for you.

Chikumbuso is also doing good, everyone is happy including the women, single mums, teachers, Mr. Banda the guard and Madam Gertrude and Maureen.

However, thank you very much for all you have for me and Chikumbuso in particular.

Thank you,

From Tasila

Tasila, Good to hear from you. It is important that you remember you have qualified through your hard work and determination to be a part of this scholarship program and to be a part of it you have committed to writing to all of us your supporters on a regular basis so that we can keep encouraging you. I am glad to hear that all is well there at Chikumbuso. I love the photo of you, it really shows how happy you are to be in school. Is it getting cold there now? Do you know that I have never spent a winter in Zambia although I lived there for 8 years?! :) Soon you will be on break, do you have any plans for the month of August? Finish the semester well! All the best, Mama Linda

Hello Mama Linda

Firstly,I want to apologize for not writing the letter on time for the last two month, I am sorry we were told to be going back to school after knocking off at 17:00 hours for some practice, but we were doing. But i promise it will never happen again.
However, how are you? I hope and pray that you are fine, here Zambia is just fine and Chikumbuso in particular. I promise to work hard and produce good results, I did not know that someone from far away would support me and educate me together with the whole family.
Thanking you very much and i will continue praying for you that God may richly bless you.

Thank you.

Hello Mama Linda and my many sponsors,

Scholl is just ok and i really enjoy it. I also want to let you know that I am praying for you and your families that you are all well and happy.

I really appreciate you for your support in my life. Because of you I have an opportunity to go to school. Very soon I will be going for the NASAZ competition at Twin Palm Secondary School. There are more than 8- schools that are participating. I hope we are going to win. Singing is one of my hobbies because when I grow up I want to become a musician.

Thank you!
God Bless you,

Tasila,
Thanks so much for writing, it is good to hear from you!
I did not realize that it is the 50 year celebration for Zambia's independance. That is pretty cool, I am sure that there will be big celebrations.
I hope school is going well now that you have finished one month of the new year. Keep up the good work. I am sure that nursing is in your future!

    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.
