Dear Sponsors,
The New school year started and I am very happy to be able to proceed with my studies. Thank you so much.
Dear Sponsors,
First of all, I wish you a happy and healthy New Year 2024. I entered well together with my family.
I am ready for my last year of secondary school and will give my best to finish it with great marks.
During 2023 I studied hard and passed to the 12th grade with positive marks. In 2024 I will study at Escola Secundária Mateus Sansão Mutemba.
This year, I will do my very best to study even harder to end my secondary level nicely.
Thank you for your help and all you has done for me, because now my dream come true.
A hug for you and your family.
Dear Sophie,
I am very grateful for your help and to know that I can proceed with my last year of secondary school.
Dear Sponsors,
Without your support I would not be able attending school. Thank you so much for believing in me.
Dear Sponsor, I would like to know how your family is doing? My family and I are in good health, but our only concern is COVID-19. Last year I passed class with positive results.
I am in grade 9. Before entering in mandatory quarantine I went to school twice a week. Then I had only to read brochures and manuals that teachers make available at school and that we were acquiring. I hope that one day this pandemic situation ends for good, I'm already tired, I want to study non-stop.
I am very grateful for the support I have received so that I can proceed school without missing anything. Thank you very much.
Good Day, my name is Castigo,
I am a grade 8th student at Mateus Sansão Mutemba secondary school and I am a new beneficiary of ASEM in the T.S.F project. My family and I are in good health, and I wish that you and your family are in good health too. In March of this year we stopped taking classes at the school due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We stay at home for over 6 months studying with brochures and online. We are going to take the brochures at school, and in October the classes started only for grades with exams: 10th and 12th. I wish all of this would be over and everything comes back as it was before. Thank you very much for the help you give me.

    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.
