About

My mother was sick when I was very young. My father had left for Arusha. It was sad because I thought my mother would die. I am thankful that my mother's friends came to help her. I learned from this situation that it is bad when a father abandons his wife and children. My dream is to become a doctor. It can be achieved only through education. I will study hard. My happiest moment will be when I succeed and have a good life.

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.

Hi Students

It seems you are all studying hard. I’m enjoying your letters.

We in the United States have been experiencing severe Hurricanes with much flooding and destruction. This has happened in the southern part of the country and on some islands off the eastern coast.

I am taking another trip soon. I’ll be going to Morocco for two weeks, to study Moroccan food, and to travel to the coast, and into the Atlas mountains to hike.

I hope you all are well, and working hard at making your dreams of successful school come true.
I hope you got to see Judy. She cares so much for you.

Hello Students!

I wanted to write to say hello to you all and to ask how your school year is going?

Almost all of the United States has been watching and reading about the hurricane that came ashore in the state of Texas last week, bringing very large amounts of rain up to 52 inches in 3 days. They had named the storm

Dear Students

I understand that Judy will be visiting you soon. I hope you all get to meet her. She is a wonderful person, and works very hard to get the tools and resources you need to get a good education. Bravo to Judy!

I had a very interesting and educational trip to Croatia. We travelled mostly by bus along the coast. The country and the sea were incredibly beautiful. Tourism provides most of the country’s income.
Croatia has been ruled by many different empires, going back to the Roman empire in 300 AD. The different types of architecture in the cities tell the stories of the different occupying rulers through time.

As Anold said, travel opens your mind to many things you’d never thought about before.

I hope school is going well for all of you.
Deusi said, “Education is like a shield in the battle ground”.


Wiseman, my fruit trees were not as prolific as last year, but I did get enough apricots to make jam for myself and friends. And I think I will get some pomegranates this year.

Have fun as well as working hard! Susan

Dear Students
How are you all? I hope you are enjoying school. You all seem to be working very hard, and I applaud your endeavors. Maybe some of you have finished your final exams by now?
I am having the great good fortune to travel to Croatia in two days. I'm going with a group from Stanford University. It is my turn to study because we were assigned many books to read about Croatia and its history prior to our trip. I understand it is a beautiful country with many waterfalls and mountains. We will also travel down its coast. The Adriatic Sea, I'm told, is chrystal clear and blue. Thank you, dear students, for writing to me. I regret that I can't answer each letter personally. There are too many of you now to do that. Sincerely, Susan

Dear Students

Once again, I read your letters with pleasure. You all have interesting subjects to discuss, and you express what you understand so well.
Are you learning your subjects is English??

I’ve been working in my garden several hours a day. This year we’ve had a lot of rain (the first year of rain in quite a while). The apricots are huge! The size of oranges. I am so happy with them because they are my favorite fruit. Today I made apricot jam.
Tomorrow I’ll make more. The fruit is falling off the tree because they are so heavy. (I only have one tree) It’s amazing because the tree has never given fruit before.
I’m wondering now if you have apricots? Maybe not. I don’t remember seeing any in Tanzania.

Is it a hot season in Tanzania now?

I think about you all, and am so proud of your efforts and accomplishments. Please write again, and tell me about yourselves.

Sincerely, Susan

My fellow students, time just flew so fast. This semester is close to its end. You all must be very busy preparing for your final exams.

I hope you are all doing a great job this semester. Some of you graduated at end of the last year. You must very anxious waiting for your notification which A-level school you are assigned to.

Doesn't matter where you are going, the most important is the goals your set and your determination to accomplish your golds.

The Chinese always say 90% is hard work and only 10% is your talent. You could accomplish everything as long as you want to.

During your break, I would like you to write down what your major accomplishing and one thing which makes you proud of yourself that you would like to share with everybody. The things your did which will make me so proud of you and encourage me to continue to support you for your future school years. My goal for all of you, one day for your to go to College/University, You are somebody everybody will proud of you.

The way to do is that you set your final goal, the goal between one step a time and try reach it then go for the next goal, eventually, you will reach your final destination.

Best regards,
Judy

    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.
