About

I am a good student from primary education Ordinary level up to this moment I reached Advanced level education. I live in a hard situation since I was young. My father is very poor. The annual income is consumed by members of the family. I faced difficulties and hard situations in all matters related to school contributions and other basic needs like computers, clothes, books, and other related academic matters. My plan from now is to complete Advanced level education and go on to university and get a degree so that I can be a professional Geologist. I have a good potential in leadership. For instance, I was discipline prefect in primary level, assistant head prefect in O level, and I expect to contest an academic position in the general election at my school in September. I have experience of making the right decision on how people can fulfill their dreams. So, I would love to have your support. I am ready and willing to make you proud by attaining good marks in my studies. Then after fulfilling my dreams, I promise to work hard in eradicating the issues of poverty and corruption. But also I will be ready to help my young sisters and brothers who will face the same problems as me now.

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

We are so proud of you and want only the best for you! Study Hard! We are excited for your futures!!

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 Judy.I am so happy for visiting our country.We are so grateful and welcome again
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 all. I am here to share about the history of CONTACTS BETWEEN AFRICA WITH EUROPE
The coming of Portuguese; Portugal is found in the South Western Europe. The contact between the Africa and Europe started in the 15th c.AD. By the time many changes happened in Europe socially, economically and politically. Due to great demand of gold and silver many traders from Portuguese started to come in Africa. By 1487 Bartolomew Diaz a Portuguese sailor reached the Cape of Good Hope. In1498 Vasco Dagama reached Malindi in Kenya.
Motives of the contacts between Africa and Portuguese:
Economic motives
Finding sea route to India; In the 15th century the Ottoman Turks had occupied a large part of Middle East blocking the overland trade route between India and Europe. Therefore European failed to get silk and spices from India and gold from Asia. The Portuguese were interested to trade with India via Indian Ocean.
Trade; The Portuguese wanted to trade with Africa and replace the Arab middlemen who took African goods to Europe. Portuguese traders took valuable goods from Africa and exchanged with European made goods. These Trades strengthen the Portuguese economy in the 15th century.
Creation of Portuguese trading Empire; Portuguese wanted to dominate the trade between Asia, Africa and Europe and create a trading Empire. To achieve this, the Portuguese had to overcome the Arab traders who dominated the trade .In addition it was necessary to prevent other European nations from colonizing the African coast because they would interfere with Portuguese trading interest.
Exploration of African resources; Portugal was poor country. The Portuguese were in search of resources that are profitable to them. For example, they discovered gold at Akan in West Africa and exported to Europe. Also they established settlements and plantations on Island of Sao Tome and Principe and use African labour to grow sugarcane. The products were exported to Europe and America.
Establishment of strategic Forts; African Coast had harbours that could serve as stopover points for their ships. The sailors could rest and refuel their ships. They also built fort like Elmina Catsle in modern day Ghana and Fort Jesus in Mombasa.
Social motives
Adventure; Some Portuguese explorers visited Africa in search of adventure. Their advanced ship building and navigation skills enabled them to travel far and wide in search of new land to exploit. These voyages were supported by the leaders in Portuguese especially Prince Henry the navigator.
Spreading Christianity; Portuguese aimed t reducing the power of Islamic religion along the coast of Africa as they were under Islamic religion for so long time. They thought that it was their duty to spread Christianity.
The search for Prester John; It was rumoured that there was king named Prester John who his kingdom was believed to be somewhere around Ethiopia in North East Africa. The Portuguese wanted to find these King and form an alliance with him against the Muslim.
Commodities of Trade
Portuguese brought Coloured clothes, maize, sugarcane, copper and brass items and from Africa they took slaves, gold, silver, ivory and animal skins.
Social impacts of the contacts
The Portuguese rule in Africa brought about the following social impacts.
(a)Growth of Kiswahili language; Portuguese words were added into Swahili language. For example leso (handkerchief) meza (table), gereza (prison), wino and mvinyo.
(b) Fear and insecurity; During the Portuguese conquest most of the indigenous lost their life. Those who opposed them were killed and these situations made people to be in a great fear.
(c)Destruction of properties; Portuguese raid caused the destruction of many homes, death, starvation and suffering. For example they burnt down buildings, cut down crops and killed people and livestock.
(d) Adoption of an architectural design; Elmina Castle in Ghana and the fort Jesus in Mombasa and the Vasco da Gama pillar were built in this kind f design.

    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.

    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.
