This year, I took part in my first mathematics competition, and it was an incredible learning experience. I also enjoy playing chess, which helps me think critically. Thank you for giving me the chance to continue my education and improve myself.
Hello, I’m Joel Wafula, a Form 4 student at Wema Children's Centre. I am incredibly thankful for your support, which allows me to attend school and pursue my dreams.
