The School Fund

About

What I wish for is to be an engineer. I have lots of experience and interest in studying hard so that I can become an engineer. I had to overcome many obstacles which prevented me from getting proper knowledge. Some of them were lack of books and school supplies, but I kept studying my level best to achieve knowledge. Now I can see the fruits of my struggling. The very important dream in my life is to be an engineer. I want to help my family to provide the basic needs and to face difficult problems in life. I hope to be a good and helpful person in the future. My last wish is for help and blessings so that I can achieve my dream.

Hi School Fund Students

Sorry it took me a while to write to you. For those of you who is receiving my journal the first time, let me introduce myself.

My name is Indy. I am currently living at the same town as Ms Judy. She and I went to high school together. I am so happy to have this opportunity to get to know you.

I used to work with computers for many many years. Do you like to use computers?

Yesterday I met with some of my old school friends for lunch. These are the friends I have for almost 50 years. We talked about our school days when we were 12 years old.
It brought many happy memories.

Do you enjoy your school? Now is the time to form good friendship with your classmates? What do you do with your classmates? Do you study together? Do you talk and share secrets? I know you have a lot of study to do. Hopefully you can find some time to do some fun stuff with your friends.

Please write back to let me know what interests you.

Until next time,
your friend,
Indy

Hello all the school fund members,
This day i am so delighted to explain something that i found on the RACHEL PLUS that was installed on computer labs that is found in our school.
In Africa we have a lot of amaizing wild animals but the one that i really like is the GIRAFFE.Here is a little thing about this animal.
Giraffe comes from
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Giraffidae
Genus: Giraffa
Species: G. camelopardalis
The giraffe is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species. Males can be 4.8 to 5.5 metres (16 to 18 feet) tall and weigh up to 1,360 kilograms (3,000 pounds). The record-sized bull was 5.87 m (19.2 feet) tall and weighed approximately 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs.). Females are generally slightly shorter and weigh less than the males do.

The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, but is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi. Its range extends from Chad to South Africa.

Reproduction

Giraffe gestation lasts between 14 and 15 months, after which a single calf is born. The mother gives birth standing up and the embryonic sack usually bursts when the baby falls to the ground. Newborn giraffes are about 1.8 metres tall. Within a few hours of being born, calves can run around and are indistinguishable from a week-old calf; however, for the first two weeks, they spend most of their time lying down, guarded by the mother. The young can fall prey to lions, leopards, hyenas, and African Wild Dogs. It has been speculated that their characteristic spotted pattern provides a certain degree of camouflage. Only 25 to 50% of giraffe calves reach adulthood; the life expectancy is between 20 and 25 years in the wild and 28 years in captivity.
That's all i wanted to share with you for today.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Hello my fellow school fund members,
Today i would like to explain a bit on "ACIDS AND BASE"
Acids-is a molecule or ion capable of donating a hydron, or, alternatively, capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair.
OR
Acid is any species that increases the concentration of H+(hydrogen ion) in aqueous solution.
Acids have a sour taste. Vinegar, lemon juice, grapefruit juice and spoil or fermented milk are all sour tasting because of the presence of acids. The acids present in animal and plant materials are known as organic acids.
In an acid-base or neutralization reaction, an acid and base usually react to form water and a salt.
NB;
An aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. It is usually shown in chemical equations by appending (aq) to the relevant chemical formula. For example, a solution of table salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), in water would be represented as Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq). also it is any solution that uses water to breakdown or dissolve substances.

Base-are substances that, in aqueous solution, are slippery to the touch, taste astringent, change the color of indicators, react with acids to form salts, promote certain chemical.
OR
Base- is any species that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions(OH−) in aqueous solution.

General properties of bases include:
*Concentrated or strong bases are caustic on organic matter and react violently with acidic substances.
*Aqueous solutions or molten bases dissociate in ions and conduct electricity.
*Reactions with indicators: bases turn red litmus paper blue, phenolphthalein pink, keep bromothymol blue in its natural colour of blue, and turn methyl orange yellow.
*The pH of a basic solution at standard conditions is greater than seven.
*Bases are bitter in taste.
Thats all i have for today.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Hello all school fund team,
I am fine and healthy and i hope you are fine too.
Today i am so delighted to share with you about a very common substance that that we use daily in our lives which is "SALTS".
Salt is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.[1] Salts are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). These component ions can be inorganic, such as chloride (Cl−), or organic, such as acetate and can be monatomic, such as fluoride (F−), or polyatomic, such as sulfate.

Salts exist in many different colors, for example:
-yellow (sodium chromate)
-orange (potassium dichromate)
-red (cobalt nitrate)
-mauve (cobalt chloride hexahydrate)
-blue (copper sulfate pentahydrate, ferric hexacyanoferrate)
-purple (potassium permanganate)
-green (nickel chloride hexahydrate)
-colorless (sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate)—may appear white when powdered or in small pieces.

Salts are formed by a chemical reaction between:

A base and an acid, e.g., NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl
A metal and an acid, e.g., Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2
A metal and a non-metal, e.g., Ca + Cl2 → CaCl2
A base and an acid anhydride, e.g., 2 NaOH + Cl2O → 2 NaClO + H2O
An acid and a basic anhydride, e.g., 2 HNO3 + Na2O → 2 NaNO3 + H2O
Salts can also form if solutions of different salts are mixed, their ions recombine, and the new salt is insoluble and precipitates (see: solubility equilibrium), for example:

Pb ( NO 3 ) 2 + Na 2 SO 4 ⟶ PbSO 4 ↓ + 2 NaNO
An acid anhydride is formed when two acid structures combine with loss of a water molecule.

Hello School fund members,
Here is the continuation on the types of skin,

DRY SKIN.
Dry skin can produce:
*Almost invisible pores
*Dull, rough complexion
*Red patches
*Less elasticity
*More visible lines
When exposed to drying factors, skin can flake, crack, peel or become itchy, irritated or inflamed. If your skin is very dry, it can become rough and scaly, especially on the backs of your hands, arms, and legs.

Dry skin may be caused or worsened by:
-Genetics
-Ageing or changes in hormones
-Weather such as wind, sun, or cold or ultraviolet (UV) radiation
-Indoor heating
-Long hot baths and showers
-Ingredients in soaps, cosmetics or cleaning agents
-Medications

OILY SKIN.
Oily skin is more common in youth. It occurs when glands in the skin secrete too much oil (lipids). Oily skin can produce:
-Enlarged pores
-Dull or shiny, thick complexion
-Blackheads, spots or other blemishes

Oiliness can change, depending upon the time of year or the weather. Oily skin can be caused or worsened by:
-Puberty or other hormonal imbalances
-Stress
-Antibiotics
-Exposure to heat or too much humidity
SENSITIVE SKIN TYPE.
If your skin is sensitive, it's helpful to find out why so you can stay away from things that make it react. You may have sensitive skin for a variety of reasons, but often in response to particular skin care products.
Sensitive skin can show up as:
-Redness
-Itching
-Burning
-Dryness

These are a few of the most common reasons for sensitive skin:
Acne is from oil in the skin that clogs pores and allows for the overgrowth of skin bacteria. Treatment may include:
-Tea tree oil
-Antibiotics
-Benzoyl peroxide
-Salicylic acid
-Retinoids

Rosacea is a common skin condition with symptoms including flushing, pimples, and broken blood vessels. Treatment includes the use of antibiotic gels.

COMBINATION SKIN TYPE.
A combination skin type can be dry or normal in some areas, and oily in others, such as the T-zone. The T-zone is the nose, forehead, and chin area. A common skin type, combination skin may benefit from slightly different types of skin care in different areas.

Combination skin can produce:
-Overly dilated pores
-Blackheads
-Shiny skin
This type of skin results from genetic or hormonal factors that cause an imbalance in how much and where lipids are produced. It can also vary, depending on the weather.
BEST REGARDS,
JACKLINE.

Hello my fellow school fund members.
Today is a very great day to me and since today is great i would like to explain something concerning SKIN
SKIN-is a very important part of the body that protects the internal part from damages, regulating the bodie's temperature and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold.

There are different types of skin but these type depends on things such as:
:-How much water is in your skin, which affects its comfort and elasticity.
:-How oily it is, which affects its softness.
:-How sensitive it is.

Types of skin,
There are 5 basic types of skin;Which are
1;-normal skin.
2;-Dry skin.
3;-Oily skin.
4:-Combination skin type.
5:-Sensitive skin type.
NORMAL SKIN.
This is the type of the skin which is not too oily or too dry,It has a balanced amount of water and lipids(oil)
Normal skin has:-
-No or few imperfections
-No severe sensitivity
-Barely visible pores
-A radiant complexion

Hello Madam Ying,
How are you?I am perfectly fine and perfectly healthy too and i hope that you are fine as well.
Here is a little continuation on Magnetism.
Magnetisation:Is a process of making a magnet from a magnetic substance.
Demagnetisation:Is the process by which a magnet is made to lose its magnetism.
Methods of magnetisation
There are various ways, including;
1:-Induction
This is done by placing a piece of unmagnetised steel bar near or in contact with a pole of a magnet and then removing it.In this case an iron nail placed near a bar magnet will be induced with magnetism.

2:-Stroking
This is done by stroking a bar magnet into an unmagnetized steel bar.There are two stroking methods, namely;

Single touch: A magnetized bar magnet is formed by a single stroke.-A steel bar is stroked repeatedly by a very strong bar magnetism the same direction with the north pole i.e from A to B. The bar magnet is lifted at B and then returned at A. After several strokes the steel bar will be magnetized with north pole at A and south pole at B.
Double touch: Two bar magnets are used to magnetize a single steel bar. The steel bar is magnetized by two bar magnets from its center to its ends using left and right hands simultaneously for several times. Between each stroke the two bar magnets are lifted up high and returned to the center for another stroking.

3:-Electrical method
A cylindrical coil wound with many of insulated copper wire is connected in series with a battery. A steel bar is placed inside the solenoid and the current switched on and off.When the steel bar is removed and tested, it is found to be magnetised.
Note:If the current is switched off for so long, the bar will not be magnetized.The poles of the bar magnet depends on the direction of flow of current. The end at which the direction of the current is in clockwise direction will be south pole and if anticlockwise it will be north pole.
Thats all i wanted to share with you today.Have a great and blessed day.

Hello Madam Ying,
How is everything there?Here we are perfectly fine and well physically and mentally.Today i would like to explain a bit on MAGNETISM.

First before defining the term magnetism i will start with its origin.

Magnetism was most probably first observed in a form of the mineral magnetite called lodestone, which consists of iron oxide-a chemical compound of iron and oxygen. The ancient Greeks were the first known to have used this mineral, which they called a magnet because of its ability to attract other pieces of the same material and iron.
The Englishman William Gilbert (1540-1603) was the first to investigate the phenomenon of magnetism systematically using scientific methods. He also discovered that Earth is itself a weak magnet.
Iron, nickel and cobalt are the only naturally occurring magnetic materials. Magnet has two ends known as magnetic poles in which the greatest attraction power is concentrated.

Magnets may also be classified according to their shapes. This includes:
1:- Horse shoe magnet
2:-Rod magnet
3:- Field magnet
4:- Bar magnet

Hello
Today i will explain a bit on the solar system.
Solar system the arrangement of planets and other heavenly bodies that revolve around the sun.
At the center of the Solar System is the Sun. This is but one of billions of stars in the sky, but is important to us as it gives us warmth and energy for us to use.
There are many worlds that are near the Sun, each of them are as different as you can possibly imagine. All of these worlds that either orbit the Sun or orbit a planet going around the Sun make up what we call the Solar System. As you read each of the sections about these different worlds, we will explore the differences between all of these worlds, and hopefully you will understand how unique and special the Earth is as well.There are a total of nine planets in our system. The inner-most planet is called Mercury. This is followed by Venus and then our Earth. Beyond Earth is an orange-hued planet called Mars. In the outer part of the system are four giant planets called Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outermost planet is a small world named Pluto.Our system also includes many other bodies. The moons are small worlds that orbit the planets, in much the same way as the planets orbit the Sun. There are also a lot of much smaller objects called asteroids. These are big chunks of rock or metal that are mostly found orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. We also get visitors from the cold outer edge of our system that are called comets.These are big lumps of ice and dust.
THE EARTH.

Earth is a rocky world that is still very much alive and active. Volcanic activity continually creates new land while earthquakes reshape the landscape. Earth's surface is constantly changing. The crust is divided up into several "plates" (somewhat like a cracked eggshell) that float on a sea of molten rock. Where these plates collide, the land is thrust upwards to create enormous mountain ranges. The tallest of these mountains, Mt. Everest, rises 29,028 feet (8850 m) above sea level. In some places, one plate sinks underneath another forming deep valleys and trenches. The deepest of these, the Marianas trench, plunges seven miles (11 km) beneath the sea.

Uneven heating of Earth's atmosphere, combined with its rotation causes complex weather patterns. Wind and rain gradually erode the mountains and create vast sandy plains. Even though the planet was bombarded by asteroids and meteors throughout its early history, erosion has wiped out most of the craters. Some can still be found, however. Meteor crater in Arizona is over a mile (1.6 km) wide and almost 600 feet (183 m) deep. It is believed that large meteors may have caused mass extinctions throughout Earth's history. One of these may have been responsible for wiping out the dinosaurs. Although the planet may seem calm and tranquil now, its surface is highly active and ever changing on the wider geologic scale of time.
Thats all for today.
BEST REGARDS,
JACKLINE.

Hello Madam Ying,
Today is a very great day we should really thank GOD for this great opportunity of being here today while healthy and happy and by the way how is your day today, i am perfectly fine .
Today i have studied about BEETLE so i thought it would be great if i write to you on it.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Coleoptera
Beetles make up the most species of insects. The order Coleoptera, means "sheathed wing", and contains more described species in it than in any other order in the animal kingdom. Forty percent of all described insect species are beetles (about 350,000 species), and new species are frequently discovered. Estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at between 5 and 8 million.

Beetles can be found in almost all habitats, but are not known to occur in the sea or in the polar regions. They interact with their ecosystems in several ways. On the one hand, they feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. On the other hand, they are prey of various animals including birds and mammals. Certain species are agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata, the boll weevil Anthonomus grandis, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, and the mungbean or cowpea beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, while other species of beetles are important controls of agricultural pests. For example, coccinellidae ("ladybirds" or "ladybugs") consume aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.
have a great day.

Hello Madam JUDY,
How are you and how is everybody?Here we are perfectly fine and healthy too. Today I would like to explain on the great pyramid of Giza.
The great pyramid of Giza was constructed by free man but not slave.Enough cattle, sheep and goats were slaughtered every day to produce 4,000 pounds of meat, on average, to feed the pyramid builders.These animals were brought in from sites on the Nile Delta and kept in a corral until they were slaughtered and fed to the workers.

HOW WERE BLOCKS OBTAINED?
Many of the stones used in Khufu's pyramid are from a horseshoe-shaped quarry located just south of the pyramid.
To move the stones overland, the Egyptians would have used large sledges that could be pushed or pulled by gangs of workers. The sand in front of the sledge was likely dampened with water, something that reduced friction, making it easier to move the sledge.It turns out that wetting Egyptian desert sand can reduce the friction by quite a bit, which implies you need only half of the people to pull a sledge on wet sand, compared to dry sand.
That's all i have for today.

have a great day.

Hello Madam JUDY,
How are you and how is everybody?Here we are perfectly fine and healthy too. Today I would like to explain on the great pyramid of Giza.
The great pyramid of Giza is also known as pyramid of Khufu and also pyramid of Cheops. It was Khufu's Idea to build a pyramid because he believed that building a tall pyramid will make easy for him to shot to heaven easily also people in Giza did not only consider Khufu as a ruler only but also considered him as semi divine being so the had the same aim as Khufu's.

The great pyramid of Giza was constructed with high engineering architectural skills which were
1-The pyramid was constructed with eight sides ,which is very hard for a person to construct it today.

2-The pyramid had the size of six pitch of football.It was too big that it is really had to build at the time.

3- It was constructed with 2,000,000 blocks which were made of limestone.
To be continued..........................................
Have a great day.

Hello Jonathan,
My name is Jackline mebalo from kleruu secondary school. I am studying in form two.
The journal you lastly posted to me aimed at knowing some of my favorite quotes and wisdom to life.Below are some of them.

1-Happiness.
You should always be happy no matter what the condition you have poor ,ordinary and even if you are rich. Lack of happiness leads to stress which can sometimes lead to stomach ulcers which therefore brings huge loss to a person.

2-Believe
Believe is being sure with things that you cannot see but
imagined.Believing gives you courage and strength to face different situations in different times, also it can help you to reach your goals.

3-Less affection from negative things and thoughts but high affection from positive thoughts and things.

4-Be focused.
Being focused makes you to have high concentration on what you are looking,doing and thinking while knowing the outcomes of what you are looking ,doing or thinking.This can mainly give either high or low affection to you and your life in general.

5-Don't worry about pleasing anyone.
What you like doing does not match to what others like doing
so its better to make friends with people who are alike with because it is easy to please them than pleasing those whom you are not alike with.
Have a great day.
Best regards,
JACKLINE.

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 Madam Judy,
How are you there?Here we are perfectly fine.
Today i want to share with you some diggings i have made on the "seven wonders of ancient word"
The seven wonders of ancient word are
-The hanging garden of Babylon.
-Great pyramid of Giza.
-Colossus of Rhodes.
-Lighthouse of Alexandria.
-Temple of Artemis.
-Statue of Zeus at Olympia.
-Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.
Here i will talk on "the great pyramid of Giza".
By definition- Pyramid is a structure whose outer surface are triangular and converge to a single point at the top.

3 largest ancient pyramids in the world are
1-pyramid of cholula in mexico state of puebla.
2-Red pyramid in the dashur necropolis.
3-great pyramid of khufu in Egypt.

The most famous pyramids are the Egyptian — huge structures built of brick or stone, some of which are among the world's largest constructions. They are shaped as a reference to the rays of the sun. Most pyramids had a polished, highly reflective white limestone surface, to give them a shining appearance when viewed from a distance.
according to Egyptians, they named these buildings as pyramids which originated from he word "Pyramis" meaning "Wheat cake" because they reminded the Greeks of pointy topped wheat cakes.

The largest pyramid in Egypt that still exist is the pyramid of Khufu or sometimes called the the great pyramid of Giza and also pyramid of Cheops.

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.
