Edith is the second born child in a family of four. Despite her humble background, Edith is determined to achieve her goals. Her mother, the only bread winner is unemployed and depends on casual jobs to take care of the family. Her father has been ailing and therefore unable to support the family. Edith dream is to become a neurosurgeon so as to help children and people with brain tumors. She is a keen environmentalist and enjoys planting trees at home and the neighborhood. She has also been doing community service programs including Matter heart run and Bishop Kioko hand walk in her school. Edith believes that the first step towards success is taken when you refuse to be captive of the environment in which you find yourself in.

Hello Debbie,
It is a privilege to receive your best wishes for me and my family.Fortunately, the government has directed for the phased reopening of schools on Monday, 12/10/2020. Being a form four student, i'm lucky to be going back to school. I am hoping for a fruitful school term. I wish you and your family all the best and hope that you keep safe during this COVID 19 pandemic.

I feel so lucky to get your message! I'm glad that you and your family are safe during COVID-19. It must be challenging to continue your studies in this situation. I'm happy that you have access to the library.

I'm thinking of you and wishing you and your family all the best for the family season and for your education and health.

Hello Debbie,
Trusting you are doing well and apology for the late response.Its a tough time for students due to the disruption of the school calendar by covid-19 virus which led to closure of all public institutions.Due to the looming danger of rampant community infections ,we have to stay at home.I have taken this time to revise and perfect on my weak areas in the subjects I take.However,with the possibility of staying home for longer time until next year January,I have taken several responsibilities here at home.Being the harvesting season,I have helped in the process sparing a few hours for study.Accessing online studies is however a great challenge due to lack of internet access and the problem of poverty to afford the classes.This problem is partially solved due to the access to the library services where we can borrow books which I'm grateful for.Thanks to those who fund the Kenya Connect library program.It has helped me among many others alot.As we continue keeping safe,I wish all students to keep studying having in mind that Covid-19 is not a permanent situation.Let's follow the government regulations and together we will overcome the pandemic.Lastly,I pass my sincere gratitude to everyone who supported me by paying for my school fees.May God bless and protect you !

Hello. Term three has been really nice at school although there were very little activities taking place besides academics.It was a pleasure that I took part in a visit to a Rescue centre near our school.We really enjoyed keeping the children in the centre company and even playing games with them.Besides that, I participated in the Olympiad mathematics contest for the first round and emerged among the top 200 students in the country for the junior category.Studies were also good and I achieved my academic goals. All this was enabled by the support of my donors who ensured my ample stay in school. Thank you and may the Lord shower you with blessings. I wish all students a happy and enjoyable holiday.

    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.

    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.

    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.
