About

Philemon lives at Hafumbre village with his grandmother. He is the fourth born in a family of six sibling. He went to Hafumbre Primary school where he attained 286 marks out of 500marks in 2012. Both of his parents are small scale farmers. The father has three wives. The elder siblings never went to school. Due to his parents' inability to raise his school fees, he has to look elsewhere for assistance, and base a lot of hopes on you.

Hi Zeina,

Hope you're well. I'm fine too. Sorry for the delayed response.

We've closed school for Dec holidays and I'm home till Jan when we resume classes.

The only challenge I face so much is lack of texts to help me in doing my homework. Otherwise I' m fine.

Hope everyone is well and healthy. I'm happy that I'm in school because of the efforts of TSF.

I'm so grateful and would want to be part of the great team once I finish schooling and get employment.

All the best!

Hi Jaclyn,

I've taken some time without posting. Any way never mind, I'm ok. I'm back in school for 2nd term. I hope to work extra hard to ensure that I attain the best grades ever.

Best.

Hi Philemon,

Happy New Year! My name is Jaclyn, and I am a student at Brown University who works with The School Fund. I just wanted to introduce myself and see how are you doing. Are you on holiday now? What do you like to do when you are not studying? I am on a break from classes now, so I am spending time with my family, cooking and watching movies.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Best,
Jaclyn

    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.
