About

Class Rank: 5/244 My name is Joshph Mbuguni. I am proud of myself when I passed my exams. I want to be an engineer so I study very hard in Physics, Geography and Chemistry. All those are my favorite subjects. My happiest moment in my life is my birthday that is the day I came to this world. The most difficult experience I had early in my life is failing my Physics test. I don't like that failure at all, so I study extra hard in Physics. The life lesson I learned is that without good preparation we can't get good result. After fulfill my dream I will use my knowledge and skill solving my community problems. I will help other poor students reach their dreams.

Hi School Fund Students

Sorry it took me a while to write to you. For those of you who is receiving my journal the first time, let me introduce myself.

My name is Indy. I am currently living at the same town as Ms Judy. She and I went to high school together. I am so happy to have this opportunity to get to know you.

I used to work with computers for many many years. Do you like to use computers?

Yesterday I met with some of my old school friends for lunch. These are the friends I have for almost 50 years. We talked about our school days when we were 12 years old.
It brought many happy memories.

Do you enjoy your school? Now is the time to form good friendship with your classmates? What do you do with your classmates? Do you study together? Do you talk and share secrets? I know you have a lot of study to do. Hopefully you can find some time to do some fun stuff with your friends.

Please write back to let me know what interests you.

Until next time,
your friend,
Indy
Hello Madam Karen,
I hope that you are fine and you are doing fine,
For my self I'm fine and i would like to share with you something concerning Laser. A laser is a device that emits a beam of coherent light through an optical amplification process. There are many types of lasers including gas lasers, fiber lasers, solid state lasers, dye lasers, diode lasers and excimer lasers. All of these laser types share a basic set of components.
The gain medium and resonator determine the wavelength of the laser beam and the power of the laser.
There are many applications for laser technology including the following:Laser Range Finding,Bar Code Readers,Laser Surgery,Holographic Imaging,Laser Material Processing,Cutting,Engraving,Marking,Surface Modification,learn-hospital,How used image 3,learn-scanner,learn-spark,Information Processing (DVDs and Blu-Ray),Laser Spectroscopy.
Laser has the following Components,
1.Gain medium capable of sustaining stimulated emission
2.Energy source to pump the gain medium
3.Total reflector to reflect energy
4.Partial reflector
5.Laser beam output
Have a nice weekend.

Hello Brother Jonathan,
It's my hope that you are fine together with your family, here in Tanzania we are also fine performing our daily duties so as we can reach our destination.
To day i would like to share with you a little bit about water-activated battery.
Water-activated battery refers to the disposable reserve battery that does not contain an electrolyte and hence produces no voltage until it is soaked in water for several minutes.
Electrolyte refers to a chemical substance which transfer electricity in solution or molten state for instance table salt(NaCl) transfers electricity when in molten or solution state.This is because, in molten or solution electrolytes there are free moving ions.
The simplest cell (a battery is simply a group of cells) is made by putting two different metal electrodes into an electrolyte (usually a solution of a salt or acid in water). Each metal receives an electrical charge and one becomes more positive (+) than the other (-). Because opposites attract, there is an energy of attraction (called the voltage) between the charges, which is the origin of the power of the battery.A simple battery can be made by pushing a zinc-coated screw and a piece of copper into a lemon.I would like to end in this point, for more explanations you may consult experts from wikipedia and other sources. Is my hope that you will share with me what you have got concerning this idea.
Have a nice weekend!.
Joseph.

Hello Madam Indy,
Again it's a new wonderful day, i am so greatful to our creator who protects us from our enemies. In this afternoon i would like to share with you a little bit about the instrument known as Amplifier.
An amplifier (electronic amplifier/ amp) is an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current).
In the simple way i can define it as an electronic device that increases the voltage, current, or power of a signal.
An amplifier uses electric power from a power supply to increase the amplitude of a signal.Amplifiers are mostly used in wireless communications and broadcasting, and in audio equipment of all kinds.
Although amplifiers are sometimes classified according to input and output parameters (we’ll get to that), there are 4 basic types, which are:

Current Amplifier: As the name suggests, an amplifier that makes the given input current higher. It is characterized by a low input impedance and high output impedance.
Voltage Amplifier: An amplifier that amplifies given voltage for a larger voltage output. It is characterized by a high input impedance and low output impedance.
Trans-conductance Amplifier: An amplifier that changes output current according to changing input voltage.
Trans-resistance Amplifier: An amplifier that changes output voltage according to changing input current. It is also known as a current-to-voltage converter.
Although there are a lot of things to discuss about types of amplifiers and their categories i would like to end at this point.

Hello Madam Judy,
It's my hope that you are fine together with our TSF family of America,
In this amusing afternoon i would like to take this peculiar advantage to say thanks to our great creator who protects us from our enemies.
Moreover i would like to share with you about the applications of a wonderful technology known as artificial intelligent(AI).
Artificial intelligence(AI) simply refers to as intelligence exhibited by machines.
In other ways it's defined as the Intelligence displayed by machines, in contrast with the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals.
Artificial intelligence have developed so as to perform different activities.According to the data from wikipedia and other sources , i would like to share with you three among it's applications.The applications are the following.
1.Computer science.
According to Russell & Norvig (2003), all of the following computer applications developed in AI laboratories:rapid development environments, time sharing, interactive interpreters, graphical user interfaces and , the linked list data structure, automatic storage management, symbolic programming, functional programming, dynamic programming, the computer mouse, and object-oriented programming.
2.Education,
Different companies have been creating robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology to computer science.Also it has enable the advancements in natural language processing, combined with machine learning, have also enabled automatic grading of assignments as well as a data-driven understanding of individual students’ learning needs. This led to an explosion in popularity of MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses, which allows students from around the world to take classes online.
3.Another application is Finance.
In case of finance it has enable traders in Algorithmic trading. Algorithmic trading involves the use of complex AI systems to make trading decisions at speeds several orders of magnitudes greater than any human is capable of, often making millions of trades in a day without any human intervention. Automated trading systems are typically used by large institutional investors.Also it helps in market analysis and data mining,underwriting, personal finance,portfolio management and so on.
Though Artificial intelligent has a lot of applications,i would like to share with you only about these three applications.

Hello Madam Karen,
I hope that you are fine and in this wonderful afternoon i would like to say thanks to our creator who protects us from our enemies.
Together with my family we are fine and i would like to share with you a little bit about global warming.
Global warming simply refers to the current increase in temperature of the Earth's surface (both land and water) as well as it's atmosphere.
Also i can define it as a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, (Chlorofluorocarbon) CFCs, and other pollutants.
Moreover i can define it as the term attached to the notion that the Earth's temperature is increasing due to the greenhouse effect.

Global warming is caused by a lot of things, but the main cause are the human activities such as mining, extraction of metals, construction, agriculture, lumbering and so on.
In the simple way it's caused by the following.
1.Burning of fossil fuels, which includes oil and gas, coal and natural gas.
2.Chlorofluorocarbons, commonly used in refrigeration, cooling and manufacturing applications.
3.Methane, which is caused by emissions from landfills, livestock, rice farming (which uses methane-emitting bacteria), septic processes, and fertilizers.
4.Deforestation (cutting down artificial and natural vegetation).
5.Natural causes(natural calamities like vulcanicity,
global warming has a lot of impacts to the environment and the ecosystem so we must take control of our environment so as to reduce the effects of global warming to our environment .
some ways like afforestation, reforestation, neutralizing harmful gases(waste treatment) and so on.

Hello Brother Jonathan,
I hope that you are fine together with your family,my self i'm fine and everything going well.
As you have wished to share with us few things about wisdom, i would also like to share with you about the same thing.
Wisdom simply means,
''the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise''.
also it refers to the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment.
further more it can be defined as the body of knowledge and principles that develops within a specified society or period.
From the cambridge dictionary wisdom refers to the ability to use your knowledge and experience to make good decisions and judgments.
Through all of the definitions from the dictionaries also in the bible wisdom have explain in different ways.
for instance from the book of proverbs the bible says ''For the Lord gives wisdom
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
This means that through knowledge and understanding of words from God we acquire the great wisdom.
Through wisdom a person can have best and precious life hence wisdom is the most precious thing that everybody must have because it teaches how to live in a right way at a right place and at right time.
You can learn it from proverbs 16:16 which states '' How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to get insight rather than silver!''.
I am Christian and i believe that the true wisdom comes from Gog who created each and everything that we see and even those which we can see and touch. From James 1:5 the bible says ''If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him''.
From this verse you will understand that the only way to obtain wisdom is only to find God.Hence the only source of wisdom is God.
About reading quotes,i like to read quotes from different philosophers like BOB MARLEY and ALBERT EINSTEIN because from these guys i have learnt a lot of things.My best quote is from Einstein states'' EVERYONE IS A GENIUS,BUT IF YOU JUDGE A FISH ON IT'S ABILITY TO CLIMB A TREE,IT WILL LIVE ITS WHOLE LIFE BELIEVING THAT IT IS STUPID''. This always give me confidence on performing my duties. I have a lot of things to share with you about wisdom but for to day i would like to finish up by asking are you a Christian and what do you know and understand about the presence of God.
I'm so happy that i have learn a lot of things from what you have share with us.
'' MAY THE MIGHT GOD BLESS YOU'' .
Joseph.
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 Madam Judy,

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 Madam Ying.
It's my hope that you are fine with your family .My self I'm fine.
In this wonderful afternoon i would like to share with you few ideas concerning the phylum aschelminthes(nematoda).
This phylum consist of the large variety of round worms,
Phylum Nematoda is divided into classes. Two of these are class Enoplea and class Chromadorea, each having at least one sub-class. Both classes consist of free-living and parasitic roundworms that live in freshwater, marine water, the soil and some into the body of large multcellular organisms like human and cattle.
There are approximately 12,000 described species, but the actual number could be many times higher. Nematode worms are extremely abundant with several hundred species, Most nematodes feed on bacteria, fungi, or other microscopic creatures. As such, they are a major component of soil and sediment ecosystems. A small fraction of all nematode species are parasites of humans, livestock or agricultural crops and as many as a million individuals, inhabit a square yard of soil.
I would like to ask,how do they feed and digest the food they eat?.
Thank you....
Joseph.....
Hi students,

How are you? I am so glad that I can get to know you. I enjoy reading your stories and seeing you on the way to pursue your goal. Although we are in different parts of the world, we can encourage each other through journals.

I hope you are doing well and let's share ideas of life, school and everything.

Best,

Ying
Hello Madam Indy.
It's my hope that you are fine with your family in this wonderful afternoon,
I would like to share with you few things which happened during the coming of madam Judy in Tanzania.
Madam came in Tanzania at the end of August.She started to visit our schools at the early of September after attending the conference at Arusha.She came with her husband Mr Danis, Mr Neal,Madam Alexandria,Madam Rene and Roll hunter ,It was my first time to see their faces so i was very interested with their kindness and love they showed us. After her arrival, we had the interview in which she asked different questions to each student who sponsored by the school fund so that she could know each member of the school fund.
Moreover, Mr Amos prepared the get-together part which gathered all the Iringa TSF team with Madam Judy and her clue,in that part we celebrated and shared a lot of things.
Furthermore, we learnt a lot about the history of the school fund, our fellow brothers and sisters who have fulfilled their dreams through the help of school fund told us on how they succeed, it encouraged us to increase effort on studying so that we can succeed much more than what they have done.
I was so happy and learnt a lot of things during that event.
Be blessed,
Joseph.

    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.
