About

Samuel was born in the city of Beira, Sofala province, on May 8, 2004, where he lived with his parents. He is a well-behaved and intelligent boy and likes to play football. During his free time, he likes to review school subjects and helps his mother with the house duties. Samuel’s father passed away in 2019, victim of a work accident. He has 2 sisters and 2 brothers. His mother works in the fields in the District of Nhamantanda, but the little that the she has harvested has not been enough to support the family, sometimes the day goes by without meals. Their house consists of 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, has an outside bathroom and no piped drinking water. Samuel’s preferred subject at school is Portuguese and he wants to become a Teacher. During 2020, due to COVID 19, the students had to study home, going weekly to the school to buy brochures and copies of tests. Most of the kids could not afford it.

Dear Sponsors,
The New school year started. I can't wait to finish to start my professional life. 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.
In 2023, I enjoyed good health, studied and passed to the 12th grade with positive results. I hope that 2024 will have treat me as well as 2023.
Thank you for the support that you have given me.
A hug to you and your family.

Dear Raquel,
Thank you so much for believing in me and helping me.
Dear Sponsors,
Thank you so much for for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to proceed schooling. I am working hard to achieve my goals.
Dear Sponsors, how are you and your family doing? My family and I are in good health. But I've been worried due to the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, I don't know if one day things will return to normal as before, being able to go to school every day, playing with friends and running around.
This year when we started studying again, I even thought that this situation was not going to bother us anymore. But I was wrong!
I'm attending grade 9, where I has pick up copies and brochures at school to read and study at home, while we waited for the schools to reopen, to have in-person classes. Dear Sponsors, thank you for the help you give me to be able to study!
Dear Sponsors,
I study at Mateus Sansão Mutemba school, grade 8th (2020), and would like to inform you that I am in good health.
In March we stopped with classes until today studying at home and online with the brochures and tests that we fetch at school. Only in October the classes with exam, 10th and 12th, started going to school 2 days a week. I would like everything to change and return to normal as before.
I wish that you are all in good health, and thank you for your help.

    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.
