Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for supporting the PATHWAYS scholars. Today we want to report on the progress of fourth year scholar Brian, majoring in medicine, and second year scholar Shadrack, majoring in Education at the University of Nairobi.
Brian
Warm greetings from Kenya. I write to inform you of my progress to school and life and general as well as to express my gratitude for your continued support.
I successfully completed my fourth year of medical school which turned out to be the most intense so far. Lots of learning and hard work. The academic year ended at the end of September after which I joined the National Referral Hospital for a two-month elective period. The elective was very much involving and I got to learn more as well as prepare for my final year. I am done with my electives and I have started my December holiday. My plans for the holiday include visiting several schools alongside a group of friends to give motivational talks as well as Christmas gifts. I will also take time to visit a community project back at home run by fellow villagers.
