About

Komlavi has no recollection of his parents and has been orphaned his whole life. He lives with his two best friends Ben and Isaac in a small shack they built last year out of wood and metal scraps they found around Kissemah Village. Quiet and shy Komlavi likes to spend his time studying, practicing reading and writing English. He also enjoys creating electrical devices for his house out of thrown away batteries and wires he finds in the garbage. His most recent invention was a small battery powered light he built for his small house which otherwise had no electricity or running water.

Hola Komvali,

I was so impressed with you making a battery powered light for your home. May your determination continue to bring light to dark places in our world.
I am curious what is it that you enjoy learning about the most?

Hello Komlavi,
This is Madam Kassy. I taught at Mawuvios almost two years ago with Kate and I was thinking about all of my wonderful memories in Ghana. I now teach in South Philadelphia and I wanted to sent a small gift to help towards your schooling. I hope all is well and I plan to come back to Ghana to visit in July. I also send my love to Renee, Kwame, Madam Cece, and madam Lorenda.

All the Best,

Kassy

Hi Komlavi,

My name is Tim and I work for The School Fund. How are you doing? I see that you want to become a pilot. What kind of pilot do you want to become? Do you want to fly planes or pilot other things, like boats? When I was little I used to want to be a ship captain. I spent a lot of time on boats.
I am also working and earning some money. I hope to be back in school next fall, which I think should happen. Best of luck to you!

Hi Komlavi,

How are you? How is school going this year? We are thinking about you and hope that you are enjoying your studies and having a good happy life. I wonder if you have invented anything recently. I think it's so cool that you made your own battery-powered light.

Take care,

Hi Komlavi,

It is so nice to hear from you! My children and I gave you some money for school today. We think about you even though we have never met you, also.

My kids and I wrote a book. When someone buys it, we give the money to The School Fund. It's called "The Magic Seed".

We are very happy that you are doing well in your life.

Debbie, Lia, and Laker (my kids)

    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.
