Thank you all benefactors for supporting me with the scholarship and I want to appreciate you because you have made me to come to this school and get a place of comfort and hope. My otherwise bleak future now seems back on track and I shall be forever grateful for your kindness.

Hi All, I am grateful for the scholarship you have offered to me, actually the Covid pandemic interrupted our learning when schools were forced to shut down. Home was not conducive for me because of lack of food. The centre supported my parents. I look forward to perform much better than last year. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi,

Receive my heartfelt gratitude for the support you have shown me during my days at Wema. This year started well. COVID was there but not in my country. I was progressing well with my studies and had started to see an improvement. However, COVID was reported in Kenya in early March and all schools ordered to shut down. We could no longer continue with our studies but for me home was not a good place to stay so I sought refuge in school. I have lived in school for the entire COVID period and I would like to thank the school for the great care that I have received during this period.

Go Brenda!

Good luck in School. We'll see you in March when we come back to Wema.
All the best, Deanna, Andy, Ryan and Lauren Stackpole

    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.
