The School Fund

About

My family is economically poor and does not have good jobs. My parents depend on peasant farming. It raises only a small yield which is not enough to support the children's basic needs. When I was in primary school, I was frequently sent home because I could not afford to pay the school requirement and still I passed the examination. I believe that education will lead me to a good life. My dream is to be a doctor. I will need to attend school and complete Forms 5 and 6. After that, I would like to go to university. My second plan is to help people like orphans and special needs groups.

Hi madam Judy,and how are you?In this month i were preparing for national assessment and the topic in Biology which i studied and understand it well is this
Classification Of Living Things
Kingdom Fungi
Division Fillicinophyta (Pteridophyta)
General and Distinctive Features of the Division Filicinophyta
Explain general and distinctive features of the division Filicinophyta
This division was formerly called Pteridophyta. The division Filicinophyta includes a group of primitive vascular plants. The adult plant body in these plants is a sporophyte. It shows differentiation into true roots, stems and leaves. The stem is mostly herbaceous. Leaves may be smaller or larger. Vascular tissues are present in all the vegetative parts of the plant body.
Characteristics of division Filicinophyta
Members of this kingdom include horsetails, ferns and mosses.
1. Reproduction involves production of spores inside special structures called sporangia which occur on the underside of the leaves called sporophylls. Sprangia may sometimes be found in groups called sori.
2. The plants may be homospores - producing only one type of spore or heterosporous -producing two different types of spores; smaller microspores and larger megaspores.
3. They are seedless vascular plants, which contain vascular tissues but do not produce seeds.
The Structure of Ferns
Describe the structure of Ferns
Ferns are intermediate in complexity between the more primitive bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) and the more advanced seed plants. Like bryophytes, ferns reproduce sexually by making spores rather than seeds. Most ferns produce spores on the underside or margin of their leaves. Like seed plants, ferns have stems with a vascular system for efficient transport of water and food. Ferns also have leaves, known technically as megaphylls, with a complex system of branched veins.
In general, ferns consist of the following structures:
Fronds
The frond is the "leaf" of a fern. It is divided into two main parts, the stipe (leaf stalk or petiole) and the blade (the leafy expanded portion of the frond).
Rhizomes
Rhizomes would be comparable to "stems" in the flowering plants. Fronds arise from the rhizome. In some epiphytic ferns (ferns that grow on trees) and in terrestrial creeping ferns the rhizome roams widely and is quite visible.
The rhizome contains the conducting tissues (xylem and phloem) and the strengthening tissues (sclerenchyma fibres). The conducting tissue, known as the vascular bundle, carries the water, minerals, and nutrients throughout the plant.
Roots
Roots are formed from the rhizomes or sometimes from the stipe. The roots usually do not divide once they grow from the rhizome. Tree fern roots grow down from the crown and help thicken and strengthen the trunk. The roots anchor the plant to the ground and absorb water and minerals.
Sporangia
The sporangia are the reproductive structures of the ferns and fern allies. They produce the dust likes pores that are the "seeds" by which ferns are propagated. Several sporangia grouped together are called a sorus. Most ferns have their sporangia on the underside of the frond, arranged in an organized pattern usually associated with veins in the pinnule (leaf). Many times (but not always) the ferns provide a protective covering for the sorus called an indusium.
Spores
The "seeds" of the ferns and fern allies are called spores. Normally they are formed in groups off our. Spores contain oil droplets and sometimes chlorophyll in their nucleus.

Hello Jenny!how are you,i wish that you are fine and I hope that you are recovering.I would like to thank you for writing to me, also I am teeling sorry about your health. In this month I were busy preparing to my national exams,i were studying in order to pass in that assesment. I studied all subjects that we have been taught. This is to ensure I will pass my exams. The subject which I really use more energy is Chemistry not only because it is simple but also I love it.The studies help me in real life because I could use them in solving problems facing my community and my nation at large.Example the study of Physics enable us to solve the problems of poor road qualities by studying engineering and building roads through the application of Physics.Also our country have got a lot of tourists attraction,hence the study of English language help in guiding tourists from outside a country who don’t know to speak Swahili language.Have a good day

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 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 and how are you?In this month,we learn about the following
Respiration in plants

How and why do plants respire?

You know that all living organisms respire in order to release energy from glucose and make it available in the form of ATP for chemical, osmotic and other work.

Plants are no exception. They need to respire virtually all the time in order to supply their energy needs. They are not able to use the ATP generated in photosynthesis for these purposes.

Plants respire in the normal way using glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation etc.

Often, the respiration is masked by the fact that photosynthesis produces oxygen faster than respiration takes it up and photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide faster than respiration produces it. It is only in the dark that the full effects of respiration become apparent when photosynthesis is brought to a halt.

Plants need energy to take in mineral salts from the soil where they are present in very low concentration - this needs work (energy) to concentrate the mineral inside the plant. Plants growing in waterlogged soils (which are short of oxygen) cannot respire in their roots and soon show the symptoms of shortage of minerals (like yellow leaves). (Rice is interesting because it has a pithy stem through which it enables oxygen from above the water to get down to the roots and therefore rice thrives in "paddy fields".).

Water is taken into the plant partly with the help of energy, but most of the energy for water uptake is a result of the evaporation from the leaves "sucking" the water up. However, moving sugars around the plant seems to require energy as dead phloem cells do not transport sugars.

Complex chemicals (like proteins) need energy to make them from simple chemicals - again the plants need a supply of energy to do this.

Hi Judy,are you fine?backing to me i am well of health.Today we will learn about bonding,formula and nomenclature.Starting with key terms,bonding means holding together of two or more things,within the word bonding, there is the word bond which means anything that can hold two or more things together.Formula is representation that use symbol while nomenclature is the systematic way of assigning names to items.Terminologies used in this topic include
Chemical bond is the force of attraction that hold two or more atoms together to form a molecule.
Atom is the smallest particle of an element which has all chemical properties of that element.
Molecule is the smallest particle of an element or compound made up of two or more atoms covalently bonded together.
By finishing,i want to welcome you in Tanzania,but before your coming,let me give you little introduction about our country.It is union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar.They unite in April 26 1964 when the president of Tanganyika Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere and that of Zanzibar Sheikh Abeid Amani Karume mix soil from Tanganyika and Zanzibar.Zanzibar has very high tourist attraction because it is rounded by Indian ocean{in between Indian ocean}WELCOME.THANKS 100%

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.
