About

I have experienced many things in my life like the death of my beloved father and living without a father for four years. In my family I live with my mother and three sisters. Right now my mother is a peasant farmer. My dream is to be a lawyer. I am the third in my class of 46 students. I am the fourth child in my family. Both my parents raised me, but my father has since passed away. I am working hard in my studies so that I can achieve my goals. In my life I believe that education is the only thing that can make me to reach my dreams.

Hello !!

I have great hopes that all of you are very well there and everything is going well as planned. For real, I have missed you,my family so much!!

By the way,our school is located bit interior from Karatu that is why there is a problem of internet network, something that makes me fail to send my posts frequently but whenever I get the chance I will be posting.

Am so glad that since last month we have been conducting some programs which are so inspirational and very motivating.They are so helpful in one's achievements to his or her goals.

Let me share with you some of skills that I have gained.For a person to be successful he or she must stay focused,have dreams and better strategies to achieve them.

He or she must be determined, give priorities to issues that are essential and more important in life especially in studies.

A person has to develop skills that will enable him or her to cope with different situations and circumstances together with initiating patience and ambitions.

Those are some of ideas that are so important and I have learned during the program.I hope you will find them helpful just like I have seen them to me.

Have a nice weekend Family!!!

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. How is everything going with you? I am in my senior year, that means I have to deal with college applications while taking quite a few difficult courses. However, I think I enjoy the challenge. I like all my classes, especially AP Studio Art class. I need to prepare more than 20 pieces of art work before next May for this class. It is both challenging and rewarding. How is your school? What classes are you taking? I hope you are doing well.

Cheers,

Anthony
How have you been? How are you doing for this semester? it is fall in California, but we do not have a clear four season change. The wether is very nice here, not so hot anymore, but still sunny. How is the wether there? What classes are you taking and how are you doing with each class? What are your favorites? What do you usually do after school? Do you have any difficulty with your learning in school or life in general? Hope everything is going well with you.

All the best wishes,

Snow

Hello Madam Judy!!!

I believe that you are fine and doing well in each and everything.I thank God that am also fine and progressing well in my life and studies.

Hello Jonathan!!!!

I'm so much impressed with the message that you have sent to us about quotes to which are important to us to uphold them.

May be I should give you some of those I know and I normally practice.

1.If you have the ability to dream it you can do it.
If I can think about something and dream about it I am certainly sure that I can be my dream and live it.

2.Learn from tomorrow ,live for today and hope for tomorrow.
Never be discouraged with what happened yesterday, try to correct your mistakes today and think of performing better tomorrow.
3.Stop waiting for things to happen just go out and make them happen
Try to do something new everyday on your own for your advantages and don't wait for another one to do them.
4.Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.
We have to do everything carefully without making mistakes to complete perfection and free from stresses because other mistakes are unforgettable and you may feel guilty.

Those are few ones that I normally practice in my life.

I hope you have a good and nice weekend!!!

All the best!!!

Dear Students,

I love to collect wisdom from different sources that are meaningful to me.
Below are a few of my favorites that I would like to share with you:

1) When you master your emotions, you master your life
Anger. This is one emotion that is sure to pop up sometime during the day. How you deal with your anger says a lot about who you are as a person. How well do you manage your emotions? Do you have a harsh reaction if someone says something insulting to you? Anger can be a destructive emotion if not managed properly.

2) Respect other people’s opinions even when they differ from your own.

Conflict. It’s rare that two people agree on most topics. Conflict is everywhere. It happens at work, home, with family and friends. Disagreeing isn’t the problem (although most people think it is). The problem is not giving value to the opinions of others.

3) Experience The Joy Of Learning
Each time you learn something new you gain more knowledge and with more knowledge come more confidence. Learning helps us become more adaptable and flexible to new situations. Learning encourages us to be more creative and innovative in our thinking and we are therefore more comfortable with the unknown.
Reading books is a great way for us to learn. To fully embrace the joy of learning, never stop reading and searching for more knowledge.

4) Touch someone’s soul with your kindness
Random Acts of Kindness. It’s the little things in life that matter most. Hold a door, smile at people. Kindness does not cost much and it touches the soul of another person.

5) Speech is a powerful tool.
Your words. Watch your words carefully. They can be daggers or building blocks. You can crush the spirit of someone or make them feel like they can conquer the world. Taste your words before you spit them out. Words are your thoughts coming to life. It’s your choice.

What are your favorite quotes and wisdom to live by? I’d love to hear your thought on that.
Cheers,
Jonathan Gilbert
Hello Family!!

I hope that all of you are fine and doing well in studies.

Today's day I would like to share with you about two poems; A FREEDOM SONG by MARJORIE MACGOYE

The poem Freedom Song is a poem that talks about child labour and child abuse in general

It is centered on a little girl called Atieno who is treated badly by her uncle and aunt.She is not sent to school and she has turned to be a cheap house maid with no pay for her labour input.

Despite all works that Atieno does i.e plucking chicken and washing dishes,she is blamed by her uncle for being a bad example to other children in the streets.

The poet wants the society to fight against oppression,humiliation and discrimination especially to young children like Atieno with eight years old.

Again the poet is insisting the society to fight child labour as Atieno is becoming a house maid a her uncle's house with no pay and bad enough at iproper age.

Also,the poet has communicated with the society about the issue of eradicating early pregnancies as we see in the poem Atieno comes to be pregnant at fourteen years as a result of lacking sexual health education.Bad enough since she is not matured enough she dies due to over bleeding.

That is all I planned to share with you today,my fellows.I hope you enjoy it.

Have a nice weekend!!!!

Hello Family!!!

I believe that all of you are very fine and I'm fine too but bit stressed with the coming storm.

Of course it is not a storm that you know but the storm which is going to kill many if they will not be serious to escape from its effect.In fact it is a national examination.

Most of us who are going to finish ordinary level this year are still preparing ourselves day and night so that we can perform better.Nowadays we don't sleep just because of that.Let us pray to God to help us reduce the burden we are going to have on 30th this month,October.

I wish you all nice and better preparations towards the exam!!!

Best of luck!!

Hidaya

Hello students,

I finally got back to the US last week.
It has been a very long trip to Tanzania this year total three weeks.

I was very happy to meet all of you and know everyone better.

My trip started from Karatu. I visited 5 schools in Karatu and I learn where do you go to school every day.

I am very happy to know all of you are doing well and every of you has a dream that you want to be successful one day. I encourage all of you to try your best to reach you own destination.

The get together was so well prepared and done by each of you. I am very happy to saw all your science presentations and poems you wrote to TSF and me. I will treasure them all my life.

I can say I am very proud to all of you. Keep up the good work I want to see each of you one day get to
good University/College to reach your own dream.

After Karatu, I went to ARUSHA attended the TED Global conference and visited couple schools in ARUSHA.
I enjoyed the TED conference this year. It was focused on the Africa, specially in agriculture, health and education.

Mr. Amos was a volunteer there, he had great experience being this Global conference and met people from around the world.
He had a life experience at the conference, where he was able to meet a group of bright inventive and talented group of people.

Later I went to Iringa. Iringa almost the second hometown for me. I have been there six times.
I visited all 8 schools in Iringa and meet all of you in person. I was very happy to meet you.

I had a great time at the get together party. All of you did a wonderful presentation. I am very happy to know all of you had fun that night.

My this year Tanzania trip was set MMM computer center for most of the 13 TSF schools.
At Iringa, We build total 5 new computer center in Iringa girls, Klerruu, Lugalo, Ebenezer, Miyomgoni and Update one MMM center at Ummusalama. We build one new computer center at Karatu Secondary School and update one MMM center at Ganako.

I am very proud of building the MMM computer center in most of the TSF schools. I really want all of you to go to the computer center to learn every subject you are interested from the RACHEL PLUS.
In the future everyone work will be on the computer. I hope that every single of you tell me what do you learn from the RACHEL PLUS.
I would like you could to start the debate team in your school so you all could practice how to speak in the public. Have the Math Club and challenge each other on the Math.

They will all benefit your long-term confidence.

I hope I will hear from all of you soon.
Hello Students!

I wanted to write to say hello to you all and to ask how your school year is going?

Almost all of the United States has been watching and reading about the hurricane that came ashore in the state of Texas last week, bringing very large amounts of rain up to 52 inches in 3 days. They had named the storm
Hello TSF Students,

How is the new school year treating you? Are you enjoying your new studies and experiences? Can you share with me your favorite new subject? Something that my family is studying right now is the total solar eclipse. In a few days we will experience a total solar eclipse here in the United States. Have any of you experienced an eclipse? It feels like a very magical moment here. I remember seeing one when I was in grade school many years ago. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon's apparent diameter is larger than the sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometers wide.
Have you ever experienced such a natural phenomena in your country? If so please tell me about it!

I hope that you are enjoying your new school year, please keep us informed of all your exciting new experiences!

Best,
Amanda
My fellow student:

Welcome back to school! This is a new semester, it is time for new goals. new ideas and new learning.

I am looking forward to reading your reply when you next write your journal.. Now while I really interested in what are you taking this year what will be your favorite subjects.

Knowledge will give you the power to be known you must read everything you can the more you know the more valuable you will be as a person and to your society.

I am coming to Tanzania at end of August and beginning the September.
I am looking forward to seeing you all.

Have fun and stay focuse! Best wish for all of you!

    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.

    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.
