Friday's Featured Student - A Remarkable Young Man

Meet Benson O. ~ HS101

Great news Benson has been sponsored!!!!!!

Benson is 15 years old and in Form 1.  Benson is a very determined young man.  He lives 6 miles from WHS in the horrible Mathare Slums. To get to WHS, he sometimes rides a bicycle and at times he goes to school on foot and so he has to leave very early in the morning to make the long journey.

He is the only person in his family that has gone to school.  His older siblings, father and mother are all illiterate. Yet he is determined to go to school so he can achieve his dream of becoming an accountant. 
 
His score on the KCPE exam was a respectable 323/500.  His birthday is Oct. 10. 
Please consider becoming his sponsor and help him achieve his dreams.
