About

Victoria is a bright girl whose hope has been kindled by admission to Agape Mercy Children's Center. She became a partial orphan when her father died in October 2006. Victoria's family is poor - her mother had been a housewife before the death of her unemployed father. With the death of the father, the full burden of feeding and providing for three children was left upon the poor, semi-illiterate widow. They live on a small plot of land that they attempt to farm, though to little success. Before admission to AMCC, Victoria was at-risk of being forced into exploitative child labor or commercial sex, risking infection with HIV/AIDS. Victoria's dream is to become a journalist so that she can help her mother provide for her two sisters. She plans to do so only after graduating from a recognized university, whether local or abroad. Her favorite foods are rice and kale.

Hi Victoria! I hope everything is going well! How were the exams that you have taken so far? I know that you will do well. I hope you keep working towards your dream of being a journalist!
Dear School Fund,

I would like to make it known to you that I have not yet started doing the national examination (K.C.S.E) at the time of writing this. The subjects that I do are not yet according to the schedule, although I will begin on 26th October 2012 and end on 20th November 2012. Some schools have already started.

I am trusting in God and hoping for the best. I am hoping to attain a B+. May God bless you and do you good.

    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.
