About

Faith is the last-born child in a family of three. She did her final primary school exam in 2018 and passed well but she could not proceed to high school due to lack of school fees. She however did not give up in life. She decided to repeat grade eight with hope that her mother would take her to school. Due to extreme poverty her elder siblings never went to high school. Her father is a drunkard and abusive. With the little income from casual jobs, her mother has managed to cater for the family’s basic needs. With all these many challenges, Faith has remained focused. She dreams to be a renowned lawyer in future to litigate on matters concerning the poor and especially the girl child. To her determination knows no barriers.

Hello donors
Its my hope that your doing good.I am also working tirelessly towards my studies to improve my results and build up my future. I am very glad to inform you that I am back from school for a holiday which is very long and admit to use the time very well in studies through visiting the Kenya connect library and also helping my parents in this winter season.
I will utilise the time well and do what is expected of me and work on my discipline to impress my parent and also my mentors. I am also practising my career through listening to my friends cases and help them in regaining their peace and from that I have got a very good name which is a Peace maker and am proud to be such a person now and in future.
I have involved myself in reading set books which I do at my own time which I find it more helpful for improvement of my language in both speaking and writing. I came home for the holiday on 23rd November 2022 and I will resume on 25th January 2023 for the start of form four.
I will never stop to thank you for your great support in my education. Thank you so much and may God bless you.

Hello Faith!

I just learned that I can write to you, so I'm happy to do so. I hope you had a nice break before starting this term.

I live in California, south of San Francisco near the Monterey Bay. I enjoy walking in forests, and there are many places to do that here. What do you like to do when you aren't studying?

Best wishes,
Susan

    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.

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.
