The new school year has begun in Kenya and the students are hard at work after their holiday break. Below is a note recently received from one of our students who recently completed secondary school. His words speak eloquently of the way your support has changed his lfe and the life of other students just like him. We deeply appreciate your help in making sure these gifted students get the education needed to become leaders in their communities!
Hi! I am Tobias, one of the Umoja Project bona fide students. I am a total orphan from a family of 3; I am hardworking and promising student. This has never inflicted any fear in me about my future academic progress from when I was absorbed by the Project after my primary school education. Umoja Project has accorded me financial, social and material support during my high school education to the point that I could recognize myself as any other student within the school and in the academic field regardless of my status. Umoja Project has played a vital role in my academic life and has brought back the lost hope which I thought could never be. When I passed my final examination in primary school, the Project absorbed me and from then I was very much confident of completing my high school education. By so doing, I worked much harder to ensure that I got the best grades I could, since it was the best way of showing my great gratitude to the Project for its support. When it came to the one and only final national examination in high school, I could not cease doing much better to pass it and qualify to the university,
It is my sincere request that God may continue opening your hearts and may He provide for your needs, preserve you each day as you proceed with the good works.
I do promise never to let you down at any particular point and I will work much harder and compete favorably with other students at the university to deliver beyond any other person's expectations.
May God bless you, may God bless Umoja Project. Long live Umoja Project.
Yours sincerely,
Tobias
