Education For a Brighter Future

5/25/2022

0 Comments

 
Education is the key to a brighter future as it opens an individual to a world of limitless opportunities. In Kenya, high school education is especially important as it acts as a stepping stone to university education where individuals can specialize in their desired goals.
However, high school education is expensive and not affordable to many families in the Kibera Slum.  As a result, many young people are cut off from their dreams and unable to connect to their destiny.
My name is Michelle Mwema, and I am one of the lucky ones.  By good fortune, I connected with a reliable sponsor called Crossing Thresholds. They have allowed less fortunate young women like me to fulfill the dream of higher education. Already, my high school education has helped me improve my communication skills and extend my interaction with other students from all over Kenya.
My heartfelt gratitude to Crossing Thresholds for supporting my education. I can now see clearly a bright future ahead of me.
May God bless you.

My name is Kean Ayub.  I graduated from Facing the Future Primary School a year ago, and have since joined high school.  When I was much younger, I couldn’t even imagine a future as a professional in Kenya.  I didn’t believe I would attend high school.  I want to thank Crossing Thresholds for the support they offered me by sponsoring my high school education.
They gave me a chance to dream. Now, I have the opportunity to work hard, to go to university, and one day to fulfill my dream of becoming an Information Technology (IT) expert.    
When a person fulfills their dreams, they have the skills to fit in and make a contribution to society. For me, it began with the chance to go to high school. I want to thank Crossing Thresholds for helping to make my dreams come true. Thank you, Crossing Thresholds.
