To The School Fund,
Hello everyone. How are you doing? I am doing very well here. It is hot some days and it cold some days. Thank you a lot for helping in promotion of tuition. In school I am doing very well and I was promoted to grade 7. Right now, I am on break and it is so fun because the whole family is together and playing a lot of games. On Christmas Eve, we chop a tree and decorate it with many beautiful things. We get prepared before Christmas. We usually decorate the whole family house. Sometimes it is hot and sometimes it is cold on Christmas. I am glad and excited because some of our other brothers and sisters are finishing their last exam in primary school and are coming to the house. I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Much love,
Ann

To The School Fund,

Hi. How are you? I hope you are fine. I am also bombastic. I am having fun with my family because I am a day scholar. We have one and a half months until we close the school. We are going to close on 28 November. I have not heard from you for a long time. We are doing our studies well here at home. We are doing tutoring at night during school days. I am trying to do all my best in school. Last time when we did exams I was position twelve out of thirty two pupils. I love you very much.

Love,
Ann
Hi ,everybody it’s Ann again . How are you? I hope you are so great. I
am very happy because I am a day-scholar at Good Shepherd Catholic

tubular, and scrumdiddliumptious. We read these words from a book
called The BFG which means the Big Friendly Giant, and it’s a very
funny book. I am very happy because I am in school. Thank you. I LOVE
YOU VERY MUCH. LOVE ANN.

I just wanted to let you know that you're getting famous at my school -- we put up some flyers promoting The School Fund with your picture on it as well as a few other students'! Hope you're enjoying your break before going back to school and seeing all your friends!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi how was everybody’s Easter? Mine was fine. We had an egg hunt in the morning. Francis won the golden egg. We all got new gumboots. We hid eggs for the neighbor kids to come and hunt too. Then we went to the river to swim. It was cold. We roasted 5 roosters for super and had big feast for Easter. I go back to school the 2nd of May. I am excited because I am going back to school and very sad because I will miss my brothers and sisters. Thank you and I love you very much.

Love,
Lovely Ann

    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.
