Greetings Nthenya!

I am so pleased to hear that you've been able to participate in some of the Kenya Connect study sessions. It's been hard for children around the world to be missing so much school. I hope in addition to studying, you are taking time to read. Reading is the #1 way to help students do better in school. Did you know that children who read for fun do better in school? I read part of a book every night before I go to sleep and I read the newspaper in the morning.

Have you participated in any of the Mentoring Sessions? What did you like best about them? Do you know what career you might like?

Today it is rainy and chilly in Maryland. Soon the leaves will fall off the trees and winter will come.

Take care! Sharon

Hi Nthenya,

Congratulations on your success in school so far! I’m very happy to help a little with your tuition - you sound like a very bright and hard working young woman. I’ve never been to Kenya but I’ve heard it’s beautiful. I would love to visit someday.

Best wishes with your studies!

Hi, Nthenya!
My name is Marcelo Esteban Mauricio and I'd love to be friends with you and your schoolmates. Tell them to use this journal feature to write to me.
I'd love to get to know you, but I'm too far away to travel to see you, since I live in Argentina, which is in South America. Like I said at the beginning, let's be friends, okay?
Please find attached a picture of me with my aunt Ilda Bravo, my cousins Caro (whose real name is Laura Carolina Bravo) and Cati (whose real name is Adriana Cecilia Bravo) and my nieces Maria Emilia "Mimi" Bravo, Eulogia Bellido and Pochi Bravo de Camaño

Hi donors
Greetings, I am so glad for your kind support that enabled me to join secondary school so as to further my education. When I firstly joined my school I found the environment welcoming. I had jovial moods all the time. There was joyful interaction with teachers, asking them the challenging situation we came across with in the school.
I hope you are fine and Almighty God has protected you wherever you are.
Wishing you all the best and Gods blessings.

    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.
