I have been at Achungo for 5 years, brought by my mother. The school I was at before was not good for me because I was not learning very well. I had to go home for lunch and sometimes my mother was not at home. I often had nothing to eat and went to school having nothing but water. At Achungo the students are not sent home for lunch (they are fed breakfast and lunch at school) and the teachers are very nice to me and are teaching well. I think Achungo will help many pupils. The teachers are the best – they are very different from teachers in other schools.
I live with my mother, Jen, and my brothers, Mike, Evans and Jeff, and my sisters, Janet, Elizabeth and Lynn. None of them are working except Janet, who is a teacher in Tanzania. My mother tends our garden but I wish that one day she could get a job. I pray for my mother.
I love playing football (soccer) and reading and praying together with my friend Sheldone and sometimes thinking about what we will do after education. On breaks, I like to play football and when I’m home, I like doing work for my mother, like in the garden. My mother likes me helping her.
After my education I want to become a mechanic at a high level and to get a job in USA. I am praying to God to help me get this job because I will love it and I will be able to help my brothers and sisters at home and in the city and that would be my life.
