About

Quiet and introspective, Sokoine's sweet smile and positive attitude make it easy for him to make friends and stand out amongst his peers. Sokoine loves studying science, and especially enjoys learning about the human nervous system. Sokoine faces many challenges at home - his father struggles with alcoholism, which makes it difficult for him to provide for the family - but Sokoine is determined to get an education so he can help his family and community.

Dear The School Fund Sponsors,

I hope this finds you well.

At Orkeeswa, one of our core values is: "Anything is possible." As a 9th grader, Sokoine recently reflected on what this value means to him, and we wanted to share what he had to say with you.

“Believing that anything is possible has taught me to stay positive when I try new things. I used to worry that what if I try something new and it won’t work out. In 8th grade when we sat for the pre-national examinations, I performed poorly. I thought I was not prepared for the national examinations, but I did not give up. I pushed myself and challenged myself to set a goal of getting a division one (highest grade), and I did! I was very proud of myself."

Thank you for your continued support of Sokoine and your investment that provides him with an opportunity to know his strength and to live our core value of "Anything is Possible".


Sincerely,
Orkeeswa

Dear TSF sponsors,

This is Tunu, the Communications Manager at Orkeeswa School.

I hope this email finds you well and healthy, especially during this difficult time in our world. As you may be aware, Orkeeswa School reopened in June after we made several changes on campus to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and community.

Sokoine is doing well and is excited to be back in school catching up with his studies. He is currently focused on covering his 1th Grade topics, and in Life Skills he is learning about Mindfulness and Meditation. He has written a letter to check in with you and your families, as well as share with you an update on what he is doing in class. Here below is his picture during a basketball match.

We look forward to keeping you updated on Sokoine's progress and thank you for your continued support in his education. We are so thankful for your partnership, which has been even more critical this year during the pandemic, ensuring we can stay on track with our mission to provide the highest-quality education to our students.

With Gratitude,
Tunu and Orkeeswa School

    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.
