About

Rabecca writes: "My name is Rabecca Nyirenda, I am a girl aged 15 years and I have three brothers and two sisters. My parents died when I was in grade three. I left my family in Livingstone and they live their own lives. My uncle collected me so that I can continue my education. Beside me, he is sponsoring his own children and he is retiring this year on 24th of October. Thus there will be no one to sponsor me and will be forced to drop out of school. I need this scholarship because I want to complete my education and be educated so that I can help my family and others that are in need like my fellow orphans and street children's. As I earlier mentioned right now my family they are not learning because there is no one to help them or take them to school. But for the love of God I am learning now. My aim is that I have a better future and work hard in my studies so that I can be someone in future and continue thanking god for what he is doing for me. I would like to say thank you for what you are doing for me and I promise that one day I will be like you helping people who are poor, may god bless you and continue doing the same thing to others."

Hi Rebecca,
How are you?and how about your studies?.
Hi Rabecca,
I would love to hear how things are going in school this year. I am a psychologist, but do african hand drumming as a hobby. I visited West Africa (the gambia) a few years ago, and saw how many children were not in school, and education is so important I am happy to help.

Hi Rabecca! I am a nurse too. Being able to help people stay well and to help them when they are sick is a wonderful job to have. Study hard. It will be worth it!
GOOD LUCK RABECCA ! WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR PROGRESS IN SCHOOL AND IN LIFE!!!
Hi Rabecca, how are you going?
Hi Rabecca, how are you getting on? I looked your school up on the Internet and it looks nice.
Hi Rebecca,

    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.

    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.

    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.
