As I progress through Form 3 at Highway Academy, I am continually grateful for the support I receive from each and every one of you. Your generosity not only helps me cover my educational expenses, but also motivates me to excel in all aspects of my studies. I am committed to making the most of this opportunity and achieving my academic goals, which is what your support makes possible. Thank you for investing in my future and for being such an important part of my journey.
Dear donor
I extend my heartfelt appreciation for your generous support through the School Fund scholarship. Your contribution has granted me the chance to continue my education at Wema, and I am filled with hope for a brighter future. Inspired by my fascination with mathematics, I aspire to
become an accomplished mathematician and use my knowledge to solve real-world problems. Your belief in my potential has encouraged me to aim higher, and I am determined to succeed.
I am Velma Nafula, and your scholarship has lifted a tremendous burden off my family's shoulders. With your support through the School Fund, I can now focus wholeheartedly on my studies at Wema. The opportunity you've granted me has ignited a passion for learning, especially in English literature. I am determined to become a writer, crafting stories that inspire and uplift others. Your generosity has shown me that dreams can come true, and I promise to be disciplined and hardworking. Thank you for being my guiding light, and I am grateful beyond words.
I appreciate the work of Wema community for the scholarship. I promise to continue working hard in my studies in order to pass my exams. High School has given me a great challenge because the number os subject as is significantly higher than what I was used to in primary school.
Thank you for this scholarship. It has really given me hope in life and in my education. I am in class 8 and I shall be taking national exams this year. I pray for God’s grace and abundance to you for all the help you’ve given me in recent years. Be blessed.
When this year began, I was really disappointed about what people were saying. I went to school very sad about the sad news. I could not understand it. Some days and months went on. It now became a serious thing. I heard and saw it on newspapers, television and radio. When now I followed strictly about the disease, one of my teachers told me that the disease was COVID 19. I really wondered. The president said the disease had already killed many people in other countries. He announced that all schools should be closed before COVID-19 spreads in our country. As we closed the schools, many of my friends, neighbors and relatives died. It really affected my education but we pray to Almighty God. It is now getting to a point where everybody must now care for him or herself from the disease. People are really dying. People are getting a hard time to look for food for their kids. Some parents were too afraid to go and work because of the disease. Lastly, we should just follow the instructions that were given.

    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.

    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.
