About

Joana was born in Inhambane province, where she lived with her parents. She is a very quiet girl and helpful. After fulfilling her homework and household duties, she plays with her friends. She is orphaned of parents. Her mother died in 2003 when the girl was 2 months old, due to illness, and her father died in 2013, victim of illness as well. He used to be a mechanic. After her father’s death, she moved to live with her aunt that works as a clerk at a butcher. What she earns is not enough to sustain the whole family and pay the girl’s school expenses.

Dear Sponsors,
How are you and your family? I am fine!
Since March we stopped studying due to Covid-19 disease, and we stayed in the quarantine home for 6 months, we studied at home, we were instructed to acquire files and other exercises we did on the phone and via online.
So, we returned to school on the 1st of October and we are studying very well, and we are conducting evaluations.
I would like this disease to end so that we can study in groups as before. I would like to finish my studies and one day become a Nurse so I can help saving lives in my country.

Hello Sommer,
Wuaw, Arizona is far away. I like to read too. In my free time I love to revise the subjects we studied at school and play with my friends and my 4 brothers. Is it cold where you are living?

Hug, Joana
Dear Aruna,
Thank you very much. I am happy to be able to go to school and enjoy my studies.

Hi Joana,
My name is Mary Page and I am a mother of two children. I am helping to sponsor your education on behalf of my daughter, Aubrey and her fiancé, Michael. I visited Mozambique early this year and am a good friend of Mama Barbara Hofmann. We visited her centers in Villankulo, Beira and Gorongoza and I met many children. We are happy to help you go to school! We would love to hear about what you are learning in school, what inspires you and what gives you happiness. We are wishing you a wonderful school year!

    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.

    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.
