About

Samuel comes from a family of 6 children, who all stay with their guardians, who are very poor. Their guardians are the ones paying for Samuel and his siblings' school fees, but Samuel is uncertain that this will continue due to many hardships and struggles the family must undergo. At times, Samuel and his family must go to sleep hungry. Samuel is a polite student who takes education seriously and he hopes to achieve his dream of becoming a soldier.

Hello Eileen and Hunter Robertson,
I am glad that you posted on my journal and helped raise my school fees,i really appreciate you kind deeds.
Eileen, i enjoy reading history books mostly because through them I am able to learn on the past and my roots plus where I came from.
Hunter,Biology is also fun in its way because you get to know more about the body and nature well though i am still working hard to understand this subject since it is challenging at times.
If you you can help me with any study tips I would be very happy.
Thanks,
Samuel

Hi Samuel,

I hope you are doing well and that school is great. I see that you chose History and Biology as your optional classes! I loved Biology in high school and a lot of my friends in school are now studying History. I was never good at remembering History though. But I'm so glad you have found classes that you love!

God bless you.

Hi Samuel. I am very pleased to complete your funding for the year. Good luck with your studies. Last year my wife and I had a lovely holiday in Kenya and went on a day trip from Nairobi to Nakuru National Park and passed very close to Longonot so I have a good picture in my mind of the countryside near where you live. We also visited Kisumu, where I lived as a young child 46 years ago. We hope to return to Kenya again in a year or two as we enjoyed our trip so much.

Do you get the chance to play any sports at school? When I was at school I enjoyed swimming, rugby and running.

Hoping to hear how you are getting on. All my best wishes - Richard, London, England, UK.

Hi Samuel!

I'm one of the dancers in Abba Modern. We all had an amazing time dancing for our family, friends, you, and for God. As college students, we fully understand the blessing of education that God has given us. Keep working hard, you seem intelligent based on the messages you have written to us! Best of luck with your education, God bless!

    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.
