The School Fund

About

Class Rank: 2/55 My goal is to become a pilot. What I have learned from my own experience is that if our parents have little education, it is hard for them to support their children to fulfill their dream. So when I started my studies, I did very good to make sure I passed all the exams. The most difficult experience I had in my life is my father left my mother and I when I was very young. But my mother works hard to send me to school. I want to thank TSF for supporting me while I work to reach my goal.

Dear Students,

A few years ago I came across a list consisting of some habits that are good to get into. I have incorporated these good habits into my daily life and I’d like to share them with you. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

1. Sleep early, around 9pm - 10pm. After working hard through the day, your body and mind need refreshing. Rest them as soon as possible.
2. Wake up early, around 5am - 6am. Start your day early. That time is the best time for inspiration to come in. After wake up, face the sky and the sun through your window. You will be motivated.
3. Be independent. Do your tasks by yourself. Solve your problem by yourself. Don’t always depend on other people. This doesn’t mean you should not get help from others.
4. Say thank you. Always say those 2 words if you get help from others.
5. Reading. Motivation and inspiration comes from what your eyes scanning for.
6. Writing. Put down in words on things that come to your head. Try to write 1 article per day. Having a diary is also a good approach.
7. Walking. Let sport always get into your day. The simplest one is walking. Keep moving and stay healthy.
8. Meditate. Focus on what you are doing. Finish it first and move to the other one. Don’t do multitasking. You can also meditate by sitting calmly and paying attention to your breath.
9. Help other people. Help people as they need and you are capable of doing it.

Have a great week,
Jonathan Gilbert

Hello Jenny.Thank you for writing. I I just like to explain about Air pollution. This topic is so important in our life since it make us aware of the solution toward it. Air pollution is harmful to human beings and other living things. About 22 million people die from it each year.
Breathing polluted air increases the risk of developing lung diseases such as asthma and lung cancer. Breathing bad
air also increases the chances of dying from other diseases. Children are most likely to be affected by air pollution.
That’s because their lungs are still developing and growing. Children also take in more air for their size than adults
do.
Effects of Pollutants
All air pollutants are harmful. That’s why they’re called pollutants. Some air pollutants damage the environment as
well as the health of living things. The type of damage depends on the pollutant.
Particulates
Particulates cause lung diseases. They can also increase the risk of heart disease and the number of asthma attacks.
Particulates block sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface. This means there is less energy for photosynthesis. Less
photosynthesis means that plants and phytoplankton produce less food. This affects whole ecosystems. to me.

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

Hi Karen.Please take your time to read about the following sub topic on chemistry.
CARBONATES AND HYDROGEN CARBONATES
Carbonate occur in nature as limestone, marble, chalk calculate etc. some example of carbonates that occur naturally include zinc carbonate, iron (II) carbonate and copper (II) carbonate (malachite) sea animal shells are made of calcium carbonate
Soluble carbonates are prepared by passing carbon dioxide to an alkali

Ca(oH)2 + CO2 ======> Ca CO3
Insoluble carbonates are prepared by prepared by precipitation reaction for instance when zinc sulphate is mixed with sodium carbonate a precipitate of zinc carbonate is formed
ZnSO4 + Na2CO3 =====> ZnCO3 + Na2SO4
CLASSIFICATION OF CARBONATES
They are classified as
i) Soluble carbonates which include potassium carbonate sodium carbonate and ammonium carbonate
ii) Insoluble carbonates such as zinc carbonate, calcium carbonate lead carbonate and copper (II) carbonate
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBONATE AND HYDROGEN CARBONATE
i) Action of heat carbonates of sodium and potassium do not decompose when heated, other metallic carbonates decompose on heating to form metal oxide and carbon dioxide
Ca CO3 =====> CaO + CO2

ii) Reaction with acids: All carbonates and hydrogen carbonates react with acids to form salt water and carbon dioxide
CaCO3 + HCL ======> CaCL2 + H2O + CO2
NaHCO3 + HCL =====> NaCL + H2O + CO2
USES OF CARBONATE AND HYDROGEN CARBONATE
Some uses of metal carbonate and hydrogen carbonate include
i) In water softening
ii) In the manufacture of glass
iii) In qualitative analysis
iv) In removal of grease
NITRATES
They are very important chemicals in industrial purposes
Nitrate is prepared by dissolving a metal carbonate oxide or on alkali in dilute nitric acid.
a) With sodium hydroxide

NaOH + HNO3 =====> NaNO3 + H2O
b) With calcium carbonate
CaCO3 + 2HNO3 ====> Ca(NO3)2 + CO2 + H2O
c) With metal oxide

PbO + 2HNO3 =====> Pb(NO3(2 + H2O
d) Reaction magnesium
Mg + 2HNO3 =====> Mg(NO3)2 + H2O
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF NITRATE
i) Solubility – All nitrates are soluble in water
ii) Action of heat: Decomposition of nitrates are related to the position of metals in the reactivity series.

Helo Judy.I just want to share the following sub topic.May you please read it
EXTRACTION OF SODIUM
Sodium is extracted by electrolysis of molten sodium chloride in Down’s cell
Image under processing
The process involves mixing sodium chloride with calcium chloride. Calcium chloride is added to the system in order to reduce the melting point of the mixture below 600c. The iron gauze cylinder between the anode and cathode prevents the sodium and chlorine from mixing. The mixture is then electrolysed in a cell where sodium is liberated at the cathode while chlorine produced sits the anode
AT THE ANODE AT THE CATHODE
2cl =====> Cl2(g) + 2e Na + e ====> Na(s)
EXTRACTION OF ALUMINIUM
Aluminium is extracted from its are called bauxite
Bauxite is an impure form of hydrated aluminium oxide Al2O3. 2H2O
Extraction of aluminium involves two stages
a) Bauxite is purified to remove impurities by heating. Heating remove water as well. The
purified bauxite is dissolved in crylite Na3AlF6 so as to reduce melting point.
i) The molten mixture is then electrolysed.
Image under processing
Aluminium oxide is an ionic compound which ionises as follows:
Al2O3 =====> 3O2
During electrolysis the negatively charged oxide ions, O2 are attracted to the anode where they lose electrons to form oxygen gas
AT THE ANODE
2O2 =====> O2 + 4e
The positive aluminium ions, Al3 are attracted to the cathode where they gain electron to form molten aluminium in metal.
AT THE CATHODE
Al3 + 3e ======> Al
The molten aluminium is eventually collected at the bottom of the cell.
EXTRACTION OF IRON
Iron is extracted mainly from its ares. The are is reduced in a blast furnace. The blast furnace is a steel tower lined with fireproof bricks.
A mixture of iron is coke and limestone is fed at the top of the furnace. The blast of hot air at 800c is sent into the bottom of the furnace through holes called layers
At the bottom of the furnace the coke is burnt in excess air at 1600c to form carbondioxide
C + O2 =====> CO2(g)
Carbon dioxide reacts coke higher up in the furnace to form carbon monoxide
CO2 + C =====> 2CO
Carbon monoxide is a reducing agent. It moves up the furnaces and reacts with iron are Fe2O3 at 700c to form iron and carbon dioxide
2Fe2O3 + 3CO =====> 2Fe + 3CO2
The molten iron produced flows in a thin stream to the bottom of the furnace
Limestone beings to decompose forming carbon dioxide and calcium oxide.
CaCO3 =======> CaO + CO2
Calcium oxide reacts with the earthy impurities called silicon dioxide to form a liquid slag, which is mainly calcium silicate:
CaO + si O2 ======> CasiO3
Slag
The slag also flows to the bottom of the furnace but it is less denser than molten iron, thus it floats on top of molten iron. The molten iron and the slag may run off at intervals.
Image under processing
EXTRATION OF COPPER
Copper is very in the activity series and it can be extracted without chemical reduction. Copper is extracted form copper pyrites, CufeS2. The are is crushed and mixed with water and oil. Air is the blown through the mixture. In doing so the mixture becomes concentrated. Then the are is roasted to remove some sulphur.

2CufeS2 + 4O2 =======> Cu2S + 3SO2 + 3SO2 + 2FeO
Silicon is then added to the mixture and heated in the absence of air. Iron (II) oxide reacts with silicon to give iron silicate, which can be easily separated leaving behind Cu2S.
The remaining copper(s) sulphide is then reduced by heating in regulated supply of air

Cu2S + O2 =======> 2Cu + SO2
Copper is then purified by electrolysis. Pure copper is made the cathode and the impure copper the anode in an electrolytic cell containing copper (II) sulphate solution as an electrolyte.
Image under processing
Electrodes reactions
At the anode: impure copper dissolves Cu =====> Cu2+ + 2e
At the cathode: copper is deposited Cu 2+ + 2e ====> Cu
PROPERTIES OF METALS
Properties of metals can be classified into physical and chemical properties
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Metals
i). Are solids at room temperature except mercury which is liquid
ii). Re unallowable that is they can be beaten or rolled into sheets
iii). Are ductile that is can be made into wires
iv). Are sonorous that is they makes noise when hit
v). Are lustrous that is they shine when polished
vi). Are good conductor of heat and electricity
vii). Have high tensile strength
viii). Have high densities because their atoms are very closely packed
ix). Have high melting and boiling points
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Metals
i) Are reducing agents that are they are electron donors metals high in the activity series donate electrons than those below it.
Na ===> Na + e
K ====> K + e
Ca2+ ===> Ca2+ + 2e
ii) With air many metals react directly with oxygen to form metallic oxides e.g.
4K + O2 ======> 2K2O
2Ca + O2 ======> CaO
iii). With water: Reactive metals such as potassium sodium and calcium react with cold water to form hydroxide and hydrogen:
2K + 2H2O ======> 2KOH + H2
Ca +2H2O ======> Ca(OH)2 + H2

However moderately reactive metals such as zinc and iron react with steam to give metallic hydroxide and hydrogen:

Zn(s) + 2H2O(g) =======> Zn(OH) (aq) + H2(g)
iv). With mineral acids: metals can replace hydrogen ion H+ in an acid and so produce salt and hydrogen gas
Mg + 2Hcl =====> Mgcl2 + H2

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 Karen.History of African society is so attractive to me because makes me learn many things about African society. Let me share this what i have been busy with this week SOCIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION IN PRE-COLONIAL AFRICA
(a) SOCIAL ORGANIZATION AND PRODUCTION
Social organization refers to the way individuals within a group relate in order to exist harmoniously. This entails the recognition of the role played by each member of the society and how every member fit to the role. Production refers to the process by which people create goods to satisfy their need and to accumulate surplus for then times of need. The social organizations adopted in pre- colonial Africa were;
COMMUNALISM
Communalism is system whereby people live together and practice communal ownership of property. Under this system major means of production is land which is belong to the whole society. Up to 19th century Hadzabe of Tanzania, Dorobo of Kenya, Teuso of Uganda, Khoisan of Southern Kalahari and Mbuti of Congo were still under these modes of production.
Origin of communalism
Communalism is believed to have started during the early stage of human evolution when people lived by hunting and gathering, lived in a small group, and begin agriculture etc.
Characteristics of communalism
i) There was no individual ownership of land and property; All resources were owned by the whole community. For example weapons belong to all men and house hold items to the women.
ii) Absence of classes; There was equality of everyone in the society. Nobody was given special privileges because of their lineage, wealth or any social matters.
iii) Work was communally done by the society; People worked together using communal resources to produce enough food to meet the community’s needs.
iv) There was no specialization of people; All the people participated in various duties such as gathering food, digging the land, making clothes, construction of shelters and tools making. There was no specialist, craftsmen or women.
v) Equal distribution of property; The produce was equally distributed to all members of the society. Because of this nobody had too much than others.
vi) Technology was simple; For example, people made and used simple wooden tools and stone tools and employed simple methods of agriculture.
vii) There was full democracy: The decision making was done by the community especially all adult members in the community.
viii) Production was low due to crude tools used in production. These were stone tools and wooden tools. The surplus was absent.

My fellow student:

Welcome back to school! This is a new semester, it is time for new goals. new ideas and new learning.
At end of last semester, I wrote to you to write to me about the most remarkable or important thing that happened to you during your holiday! 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!

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.
