Hello,

I just want to say hello to all of you.
My name is Judy Severson.
My son Matthew Severson began The School Fund (TSF) in 2009 when he was at University.
After he graduated from University, he started to work full time. It was then that he asked me to help TSF in Tanzania.

We were really lucky to get help from the Chairman and President Mr. Fuad, the Chief Operation Officer Mr. Amos in Iringa, our local representative Mr. Paulo in Karatu and
all the local headmaster/headmistress and teachers. Without their help we will not be able to support all the TSF students in Tanzania.
I thank all of them very much for all of their support.

I am very glad we are able to help to pay much of your school fees, so you can continue your education. Keep up the good work! I hope one day you can reach your dream.

I brought RACHEL-PI systems for all the schools and I hope that you use them to help you study. The content on RACHEL-PI can provide a lot of additional information for you to learn.
I hope your new semester is successful and joyful.

With my best wishes,
Judy

Hi Mwajuma,
We heard that you are doing very well in school, and that your favorite subjects are chemistry and biology. Those sound really difficult! What are you learning about? We are learning about angles and light reflections in Science. Are Chemistry and Biology hard for you? I�m sure you are going to be such a great doctor since it seems like you are so smart and talented. I can�t believe that you won the leadership award. That is so cool! We have a lot of homework sometimes. Do you have homework? If so, do you have a lot? For us a lot is about one hour. Do you play football a lot (here we call it soccer)? What are your favorite teams? Do you like having two siblings? Abby has two also (sometimes they can get really jumpy.) Zara has no siblings but she does have a hyper dog. Do you have any pets? We hope that we can talk more!

Hello Mwajuma,
My name is Adam. I live in New York City in America. It is great to finally write to you. My teacher told me a lot about you. What is your favorite food? Mine is hamburgers. I read that you were graduating in December. That is the same for my sister who lives in South Africa with my grandma. I am really happy that I will be able to get to know you.

Love,
Adam

Hi Mwajuma!
We hear that you like to play netball. In our gym we play basketball, so we like a form of netball as well.
I think it�s really great that you want to be a doctor. Lots of kids want to be a crazy fantasy job, so you can treat sick people and save their lives. We�re sure you will and that you are a helpful student. We can�t wait to meet you on Skype and learn more about your school interests. We can�t wait to hear back from you.

P.S. - What is your favorite color?

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.
