A time of reflection by a recent KF graduate, Jessy Njungu. Francine has this to look forward to as she is currently in 11th grade and will graduate next year.
"My name is Jessy Njungu and I am in Grade 12 at Chalo Trust School. I can vividly
remember the time I came to Chalo because I was excited and scared at the same time. I
was going to start a new chapter in my life-I didn’t know how it would be.
I knew that I had to be focused and do very well in school because I was on scholarship. I
struggled when adjusting to the new environment but with time, I got a hang of things. I
have been very proactive from the time I joined KF. Some of my great achievements are:
being named class monitor from grade 8-10; dormitory captain; councilor of Scripture
Union; school head girl and an active member of many sports and club activities.
I have grown to love Chalo Trust School a lot. I have discovered that I can run and sing
very well and am a good public speaker. Chalo has been my home for about 5 years and it
has nurtured me into someone who can relate well with different kinds of people, be
organized, kind, and patient.
My journey in KF has been amazingly beautiful. I have met so many beautiful souls and a
good example is my mentors, Anthony and Kate. They are extremely awesome. I have had
the best times with them and talking to them is always a treat. I learn a lot from them and I
am grateful to KF for the opportunity that they have given me to meet such people
including KF staff themselves.
In grade 10, I attended work experience which enabled me to live my dream. KF has not
only impacted positively on me, but my family also. KF has taught me to be grateful,
selfless, responsible, respectful and mature.
In conclusion, my journey in KF and Chalo has been life changing and I thank God for all
the care, support and love that KF has shown me."
