Friday's Featured Student - A Struggling Orphan -

Meet Simon O. - HS112

Update - Simon has been Sponsored!!! Please look at our WHS page for more students looking for sponsors.  Thank you!
Simon is 15 years old and in Form 1.  Both of his parents have died and he lives with his sister and 5 other family members.  Together they struggle to cope with the harsh conditions in the slums. Yet everyday Simon presses on to continue his education so he can one day achieve his dream and  become an be an engineer.

 He enjoys football and his best subject is physics.  He is a very bright young man and on the KCPE exam, he scored 305/500 marks was 11th out of 62 in the recent mid-terms.  His best subject mark was Chemisty(88) although he is also very good at physics (81) and maths (78)  - he was 3rd overall in maths.  Simon's birthday is Oct. 31, 1995. 

Simon needs someone who will encourage him to stay in school, despite the odds.  He is also very excited to be getting a sponsor.  In fact he has already written a letter to his future sponsor.

For only $12.50 per month you can help him achieve his dreams.

Please email info@nairobikids.org to help this young man have a brighter future.
