Let me give you a bit of my story,probably let me start from 2006 because if I start from the later years I will end up in tears.
In 2006 ,I finished my primary level and was due to start my secondary level .My dad had no money and we had to look for an alternative ,we decided to asked afew of our relatives if they could be of any help but most of them said they had alot of things to take care of.We decided to come to Nairobi and try our luck,my mum went to look for the bursary but she was told ''she had to give so as to receive'' I hope you understand ,my mum said NO! She came home her heart filled with sorrow ,that is when I decided to go and start some housework job to help my mum.The whole of 2007 I had no otherwise but to stay at home without going to school because I hadn't known KGSA by then.It was in May when my mum' s friend told us about the school ,but she told us that you had to pay 1000 /= to register my dad struggled to look for the money but she couldn't manage to get it and the year just ended like that.
In 2008 in March my grandmother died and my parents had to go to the funeral ,when my dad came back home I told him that we could go to KGSA and tell them to let me study then I could pay the 1000/= later the KGSA family were so kind and told us that the only thing you needed was a desk and a chair and a plate for lunch and that when I joined the kgsa family .
In 2010,now looks to me as the worst because:
[A]In April thugs came to our house and stole the few possessions we had ,unfortunately my dad was not at home and fortunately I was not in the house .
[B]August was now the worst ,I lost my beloved sister who was only nine she left me in this world of confusion may her soul rest in peace.On the same day when my sister was dying a grain of maize entered my youngest brother's nose my mum tried to remove it but it refused ,so he had to be taken to the theatre to be operated on it to remove it.
I now stay at a friends house because I fear staying alone since the thugs came into our house My dad is not around he has gone to another town to look for a job.
I have riends who encourage me whenever I fill lonely.Life is like a road which has no signs to show you the directions you have to struggle to aim for the highest ,all in all God has a purpose for everyone of us.
Thanks to the KGSA family for the much they've done to me.
