About

It was September 2002 when I was born in Kibao village. I live with one parent and my brother. My mother is a peasant farmer. My father left in 2004 when I was just 2 years old. My mother takes care of us. She took me to start school in 2009. My mother does not have enough money to keep me in school. Other relatives helped my mother pay my school fees until I completed primary school in 2015. I got grade B and could join secondary school at Highlands. It was really hard for me to stay in secondary school because my brother is also in secondary school. My uncle felt pity and helped my mother keep me in school. I am always on the road going back home because of the school fees problem.I am thankful to The School Fund for coming to my rescue. My dream is to become a teacher and help my mother, my family and others with hard lives like mine.

Hello Students,

I just finished a book called The Happiness project by Gretchen Rubin.
She is taking us through her year-long process of finding happiness in all areas of life.
I enjoy the book very much and would like to share with you some of the key points that I found insightful:

1. All the data proves: we need long-term relationships, involving people with whom we can confide, and a sense of belonging.
3. Be generous. Studies show that your happiness is often boosted more by providing support to other people than from receiving that support yourself.
4. Cut people slack. Do you find yourself dishing out judgments during your times of stress- the simple act of letting it go (or not even bringing it to judgment) would bring happiness all around.
6. How do you make new friends? Suggestions from the book:
• Smile more frequently.
• Actively invite others to join a conversation.
• Create a positive mood.
• Open a conversation.
• Try to look accessible and warm.
• Show a vulnerable side and laugh at yourself.
• Follow others' conversational leads.
• Ask questions.
I hope you find the above suggestions useful and helpful. Have a wonderful summer!

Best,
Jonathan Gilbert
Hello School Fund students!

Welcome to a new school year. I hope that your long break was full of family and friends, good work and good times.

I also hope you can reset your mind quickly back to class and lessons, learning and growing in your knowledge base.

I look forward to reading your posts this year, to learning more about you: your joys and hopes and challenges.

I also have some news! Madam Judy is coming to visit Tanzania in July and August!

This is a very good chance to meet a fine lady, a good friend of yours, and a very important person for your future.

Until soon?
Welcome back,

Dear Students,

Last Sunday was the last day of my 2017 school year at my university. My sister graduated after four years with the same university. My family and I attended her graduation. There were several speeches presented by different speakers to the graduating students. I was moved by one in particular so I’d to share with you one of the key points of this speech: the importance of giving back.

“Giving back is where you give, and then nothing happens. No benefits for you, no recognition, nothing tangible gets sent your way. Your biggest and sole reward is the realization that you’ve made a significant change in someone’s life. And if not “significant” then a positive change nevertheless.”

So students, regardless if you will be graduating or continuing on with the same school, let us give back to our community whatever and whenever we can. If you have specific talents, teach others what you know, help out others whenever you are able. As the speaker said, privilege comes with responsibility. We all have the privileges of getting an education; therefore, we all have the responsibility to help others who are less fortunate.
Have a wonderful summer!
Cheers,
Jonathan Gilbert
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
Hi students!
My name is Brend, and I am 17 years old, in 11th grade. I have just finished my final exams in school, they were all very hard. I wonder how school is going for you? What is your favorite subject to learn about? Also, I have a question for you. If you had 1 wish to make anything come true, what would it be?
Dear Students,
I would like to share with you an excellent article about how to study effectively.

How to study effectively:
1. Read the chapters before you go to the class lecture about it. It helps to know what the professor is talking about before you get there.
2. Question what you’re reading, and test yourself on it often. Generate questions after you read to go over concepts, compare and contrast, and make yourself generate examples.
3. Practice retrieving the information without your notes or book, and do it in the same way you are tested. If you are required to do essays, multiple choice, or fill in the blank, practice using the information in that way.
4. Do not study isolated facts. I only encourage notecards to work on what you are struggling with. They’re good for quick study breaks in between class or work, or to review things you struggle with before a test. Knowledge isn’t obtained in small isolated facts. Key terms and definitions aren’t going to help you really comprehend the material.
5. After the class, re-read the chapter and highlight what you think is important. After class, you may be more prepared to focus on certain sections of material.
6. Go through and highlight what you have difficulty remembering. You might want to make these points into flash cards as well. Keep the cards and review them before a test or quiz. Isolated facts aren’t how you should study, but keeping that card with you and looking over it before the test can be beneficial.
7. Spend 15 minutes a night, at least, on each class’ study guide. This kind of spaced out study helps encode the information into your long-term memory and will help you recall it faster and more accurately later.

This article helps me to study effectively. I hope you find it as helpful to your daily study as I do.

Cheers,
Jonathan Gilbert
Hello,Lynn J it has been long time since I wrote you a post I am sorry I did not attend last week because I was suffering from stomache have nice weekend
Dear student,
It has been very long time since last time I wrote to you. I have been out of town attending conferences, doing business and helping with family issues.
I know the new school year began two months ago and I hope you are able to focus on your studies and set goals for yourself. I hope you are doing well this school year.
In your journals I would like to see you are learning, what you like and dislike about the school, your accomplishments, your difficulties your life and your obstacles you face.
I want you to evaluate yourself, what is your strength and weakness, which area do you need to improve yourself. That way I could know who you are and help me to know you better. I wish you have a great year ahead of you and let me know there are anything you need me to help.
Best regards, Judy

Hello Students,

I am sitting in my desk, looking out in the rain and thinking of all of you in Tanzania.

I hope all is well with you and you have been studying hard to achieve your goals.
I’d like to share with you the below three quotes that I find meaningful and inspiring to me. I hope you find them interesting as well:

“Happiness comes a lot easier when you stop complaining about your problems and you start being grateful for all the problems you don’t have.”

“If you want to do something, you will find a way. If you don’t, you will find an excuse.”

“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”

Have a wonderful week!
Best,
Jonathan Gilbert

    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.
