About

My dream is to be a pilot. To reach it, I will study hard. I live in Iringa with my mother and my sister, Catherine. I have not seen my father since he divorced my mother when I was young. If I become a pilot, I will be very happy and help my family. I always promise my teachers that I will keep working hard in my studies. I believe in education because it is a gift no one can take away from me.

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. How is everything going with you? I am in my senior year, that means I have to deal with college applications while taking quite a few difficult courses. However, I think I enjoy the challenge. I like all my classes, especially AP Studio Art class. I need to prepare more than 20 pieces of art work before next May for this class. It is both challenging and rewarding. How is your school? What classes are you taking? I hope you are doing well.

Cheers,

Anthony

Dear Madam Judy,
It.'s my hope that you are doing well and am also fine thanks to God almighty.
The main aim of writing to you is just to greet you and to share with you some topic which I have learned in school during class session it was all about health and immunity.
Health is the state of physical,mental and social well being.Ones health is affected by factor such as diet,phisical fitness,hygiene,stress heredity,environment,medical care and immunity. But also there aare some factor or rules to be followed so as to remain health which are as follows:

-To avoid smoking
-Decrease their intake of junk food(food that is not good for health eg:chips and bottled juice that contains chemical preservatives) and refined food and increase the intake of fresh fruits such as vegetables and whole grains.
-Exercise regularly.
-Getting sufficient sleep in a well ventilated room.
-Relax and avoid stress.
-Allow time for leisure.
-Take medical drugs only when absolutely necessary.
-Avoid recreational drugs such as bhang, heroine and cocaine.
-Eat a well balanced diet.
-Drink plenty of clean and safe water.
-Keep the body clean.
In generally those are the ways on how to remain health.

IMMUNITY
-This refers to the ability of the body to resist infections and diseases .Immunity build the body's defence against infection and diseases and this helps to remain healthy.Immunity is made possible by the body's immune system.The immune system enables the body to recognize foreign materials (also known as antigens).Antigens cuse infection and disease.In response to antigen ,the body's immune system produce chemical substances called antibodies fight against the invading antigens..
The immune system consist of the white blood cell ,the lymphatic system , spleen ,thymus ,skin and the bone narrow.These components need to be kept in good condition in order for the body to have adequate immunity.Immunity can be affected by some factor such as:;
-DAMAGE TO THE SKIN.
-POOR NUTRITION.
-ATTACK BY PATHOGENS.
-GENENITIC DISORDERS.
-INCOMPLETE TREATMENT
-EXTREME STRESS.
-LACK OF VACCINATION.
That's what ii wanted to share with you for today.

I WISH YOU A NICE WEEKEND FILLED WITH HAPPINESS AD PROSPERITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Snow,
How are you? because for my side am just doing well with my studies.It is long time since I have posted to you.
The main aim of writing to you is just to share with you some poem which I have learned in school during class session,there are many poems but I have one poem to share with you and it is all about rain.

RAIN!!
How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and the heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane.

How beautiful is the rain!
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs!
How it gushes and struggles out,
from the through of the overflowing spout!!

The poem is about importance of winter season[rain] after summer season is complete and the subject matter or theme of this poem is:
the season of the year,the year contains seasons such as summer and winter. In the summer the sun heats and the things become dry in all places but when the winter season starts the rain waters overflow roofs,hoofs and the uses of rain is that many people depend on rain to grow crops,grasses for cattles and source of domestic water.
But the altitude or mood of the personal who speak in this poem is happy because of arrival of rainy season.
Is the poem interest?
Hope to hear from you soon!!!
Regards
Deborah~

Dear Madam Judy,
It's my hope that you are doing well,it's my pressure to inform you that am absolutely fine.The main aim of writing to you is just to share some story with you which i have learned in school during class session,the story called "THE MAGIC GARDEN"
The author of the book is K.R Cripwell

The story was about a man called Kumalo who lived at Akantown.He was a very poor man but wished to have money so as he could eat,drink and build a house.He thought of where he would get all this money.Then he went to the church believing that God will help him.

One day,while in the church,he stole believers' offering.All the church went after him but he managed to hide the money in a farmer's garden under a pumpkin.

The money was picked by the children of the poor man,Mrs Olusanga who sent it to her.Mrs. Olusanga then used some of the money to buy some home stuffs and asked the shop owner,Mr. Ngwenya's to keep the rest of the money for her.Suprisingly Kumalo was there and he saw where Mr. Ngwenya hide the money. Kumalo stole it again.He was again chased by the villagers and he threw it into a big tree under which two lovers James and Jane were singing.

They took the money and went to look for Jane's uncle to seek permission to get married.they then paid a hundred dollars as bride price and the old man allowed then to go and look for father Gashle to wed them.The old man remained at the bar with Miriam,the bar owner who seduced him by a card game.

Kumalo was also there!After seeing the money in Miriam's bag he grabbed it and run away.He was once again chased by the villagers and at the end he decided to go back to father Gashle's church for refuge.In the church he found James and Jane witth father Gashle ready to get marriage,He told father Gashle that he sole the money from the church and he wanted to return it back.As they were conversing Miriam and the villagers arrived in the church and Miriam pointed at Kumalo,"there he is,the thief".

At the church the whole story was unveiled to father Gashle and the rest of the villagers.Father Gashle gave some money to Jane's uncle who then gave it to Kumalo and Kumalo divided it to father gashle and Jane.

Father Gashle told Kumalo that he was agood man and asked him not to steal again because he have heard the voice of GOD.

Jane married and Kumalo found agood home with Mrs. Olusanya.

The central and most important character in the story is Kumalo.

The character i liked most is Kumalo because he was funny,inconsistenly fair and always present at places you could expect him.He also had repenting heart.

I did not like Mr. Ngwenya because he used to steal money from the people by selling things at higher price so as to become rich.

The story has a happy ending because at the end of it,the stolen money was found and returned to the church.Also Jane and James got marriage and Kumalo got a good home.

I would advise other student to read this book because it's very interesting as well as providing a moral lesson that we shouldn't steal other people's property.

Pass my greetings to all of you,have a blessed and a nice day filled with happiness!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards
Deborah~~~!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Madam Judy,
It's my hope that you are doing well,it's my pressure to inform you you that am absolutely fine.The main aim of writing to you is just to share some story with you,the story called MABALA THE FARMER!!

The story is about a man called Mabala,a lazy,educated and argumentative man who never cares for tomorrow,his wife Mauja advises him to work very hard so that they can be able to live a happy life but Mabala does not want to listen instead,he started drinking rather than working hard.Because of his negligence and considering himself right in whatever he does he take sugar instead of fertilizer to the farm.His neighbour Sekulu tells him but he refuses.
In spite of all these problems,Mabala is a good in accountancy, so the village appoints him to do that work which he does very well and brings changes to the society.This change brings happiness to his family as well.
I would advice my friends to read it because it is very interesting and educative.
That's what i wanted to share with you.
HAVE A BLESSED SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 student
Hopping that every thing is all right. This time I would like to share to you about LIFE SKILLS.....
A skill is the ability of an individual to apply his/her mental and physical power to control the environment. It involves things like thinking, playing and implementation so as to solve social, political, economic and culture problems. These skills are the ability to understand one self, build sound relationships with others, survive under difficult circumstances, act responsibly and safely, and solve problems. It addresses the balance between knowledge, attitude and life skills....
There are various needs of life skills........
As children develop, their life begins to change. Adolescents may develop a variety of life skills to prepare them to face challenges, take up family responsibility, make decisions and think about what they want to be in the future. Life skills education addresses these issues for the benefit of the individual and society at large. Life skills equip adolescents with knowledge and attitudes that should lead to the requirement behavior. They reduce health risk and raise awareness on health and related behavior such as sexual abuse, drug abuse, violence, drunkenness, unwanted pregnancy, sexual transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. Life skills play a decisive role in helping to prevent these behaviors and enlightening teenagers about these challenges so that they can protect themselves.
There are various sources of Life skills such sources of Life Skills where people learn from are
1. Family: Parents, guardians and other relatives are primary source from whom we learn different life skills.
2. Neighbors: We learn the different ways that people live from our neighbors. Good neighbors help us to behave well.
3. Friends: Friends helps us to acquire various life skills. Exchanging good ideas with friends help to mold us in to well-behaved individuals.
4. Schools: The good education we get at school enables us to develop skills for life.
5. Society: the way people live in the society allows an individual to learn what is expected of him/her and how he/she should behave in different circumstances.
6. Religion: Good religion teachings help to get skills which enable us to live harmoniously in society Note: The above mentioned sources of life skills are sources of positive and progressive life skills.
That is all about.
..........<<<<<<<<<<THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAYS>>>>>>>>>>..........

Hello TSF Students,

How is the new school year treating you? Are you enjoying your new studies and experiences? Can you share with me your favorite new subject? Something that my family is studying right now is the total solar eclipse. In a few days we will experience a total solar eclipse here in the United States. Have any of you experienced an eclipse? It feels like a very magical moment here. I remember seeing one when I was in grade school many years ago. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon's apparent diameter is larger than the sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometers wide.
Have you ever experienced such a natural phenomena in your country? If so please tell me about it!

I hope that you are enjoying your new school year, please keep us informed of all your exciting new experiences!

Best,
Amanda

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.

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.
