About

I realized after my Standard Seven national exams that my dream is to become a doctor. The day I was selected to join the secondary school near our home, I was very happy. My difficulty is that I live in a country where there are rich resources but the application of these resources to real life is not yet done. Most people are poor, including my parents. Sometimes they cannot get me school items such as books, clothes, and food. One day in the future I want to be doing well in my life. This is possible if I put effort into my learning.

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
Judy

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

Dear Students
I hear that you are leaving school soon for your long semester break. I hope you get a well-deserved rest, but if you can't rest, I hope your break is productive.
I think you all deserve special support and recognition for the very hard work you are putting in to get your education. I encourage you to keep trying, and see each challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. You will be stronger and more capable to meet the challenges of adulthood if you can face the difficulties today.
Someone said that the shortest meditation is taking a deep breath. I love to do this when I feel stressed.
I’m lucky enough to be able to take some trips this year. I’m going to Croatia, Morocco and India.
I’ll report back to you about each trip.
Thank you for sharing what you are learning. I always learn from you. You are always welcome to share with me your concerns, difficulties and joys also.
Best to you all. Susan

Dear student,
It has been a long time since I last wrote to you. I am very sorry! It is not because I forgot nor because of my laziness, but because I was tied up with my personal problem. My aging mother has been in and out of hospital many times for health issues, and I am her major care giver. Thanks for everyone's prayer,she makes small improvement.
Wish you do your best on your learning and make great effort preparing your test. You have big potential that's why TSFTZ funded you.
Please keep on writing your journal entries, we enjoy reading them and will try to write back to you at our best ability.
-Jenny
