About

I come from a family of six. My dad is a black smith while my mum runs a grocery kiosk. I got challenged by the situation at home and made a life commitment to stay focused on my school work. When I did my class 8 exams (K.C.P.E), I was not sure that I would make it to high school due to high fees charged at secondary school. When I got the scholarship opportunity, it gave me hope for pursuing education to became a neuro-surgeon. The program will help change my life and contribute positively to the lives of people who are hopeless in the Kibera community.

    Kenya

    Raymond is the firstborn in a family of two. He lives with his mother and grandparents. He has been raised by a single parent, his mother. His mother has been supporting the family through casual jobs. Raymond dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon in future because he wants to help people with mental problems. Also, there are few neurosurgeons in the country. He is very outgoing and enjoys drawing to improve his skills. Despite the challenges he faced, he believed in hard work and emerged as the best student in his school. For sure, hard work never goes unrewarded.
