During our recent trip to Eldoret, we met up with our students supported by The School Fund.
Siantayo wanted to say: "Thank you Barbara and The School Fund for letting me in school this year. I am in Form 3 this year and really enjoy learning in all my classes. I am thinking I may be a teacher after school to help other kids learn."

I think everyone everywhere is having to redo this past school year, so don’t think it is your fault. I am donating each month to your tuition fund and soon it will be paid in full. I also helped fund the bags and saw the video of you. Stay well and be safe from COVID. The future is still a bright one.
