About

Bravin is a child who has gone through many challenges. As an orphan and living with his grandmother in the slums, Bravin could not withstand sleeping hungry for days and he ended up in the streets foraging for food in the dustbins. In the streets he was introduced to drugs by other street boys. It was while in streets a good Samaritan took him to a rehabilitation center where he changed and was enrolled back to school. Bravin is the third-born child in a family of eight. He actually doesn’t know where most of his siblings are currently. He is currently living with his cousin who is jobless. Though faced with many challenges, Bravin has kept his focus. He managed to be the best student in his school. His goal is to become a neuro-surgeon in the future. He believes that education is the key to success.

Hello Bravin--

The coronavirus has impacted so many school youth across the world. Here in the U.S., most students are taking classes on-line virtually, but it's hard since not everyone has access to a computer and the internet.

Have you been able to do any of the on-line classes at the KC LRC? If so, I hope they have been helpful. I strongly encourage you to read. Did you know that reading is the #1 way to improve test scores? I read almost every night before I sleep. I love a range of books including authors from Africa and other parts of the world. Do you like to read?

Have you participated in the mentor series? Has it been helpful? Do you still want to be a surgeon?

I live in Maryland. We are now in the season of autumn. The leaves are starting to change color and soon they will fall off the trees before winter comes. Our vegetable gardens are finished for the year. We will plant again in the spring (around April).

Keep reading and take good care. Sharon

If it were not for you,I don't think if I could have gone to a national school or even high school.I am undergoing through a difficulty time since I am living with my uncle currently. Although I meet challenges as he is not employed, I know challenges are normal in this world. I hope that one day one time I will succeed in life. I have decided to shoot for the moon and if I will not land on the moon I will land on the stars for everyone aspires to become a star.

May God bless you all for your support.I salute you all.Thank you

    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.
