From the Administrator at Mogonjet Secondary School to our Donors:

“Please receive greetings from the students and staff. They admire your love, generosity, and your big heart for our disadvantaged students, who want nothing more than to achieve their education. Olivia, in particular, was overjoyed when I called her name and handed her the scholarship. In the group photo, she is seated among the other students standing because of her disability, but that does not stop her from being a highly disciplined and smart student in her studies.

“Olivia is paralyzed from the waist down, and her parents are financially challenged. The school bought her a wheelchair about five years ago when she was in the lower primary level. The wheelchair is old and damaged now, so she’s currently being carried by her colleagues from class to class and during break time. She is such a nice girl and is loved by everybody.

“Another girl receiving a full scholarship struggles with a father who is an alcoholic. She, too, became emotional when her name was called because her school debt was very large. She is determined to work hard in her studies, as well. We believe in all our scholarship recipients and encourage them to work to their highest potential.”

They are as follows:

1. Felicity Chepkoech (Form 4/senior)
2. Joan Chelangat (Form 3/junior)
3. Sharon Chepngetich (Form 2/sophomore)
4. Linda Cherono (Form 2/sophomore)
5. Enock Kibet Cheruiyot (Form 1/freshman)

7. Olivia Cheptoo (Form 3/junior)

*PLEASE HELP US CONTINUE THIS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM! 100% of all donations go to our schools and students. We show highly motivated, disadvantaged students that we believe in them, and we assist them in staying in school. You’ll find secure options for making a tax-deductible donation here, and we’ll send you a student’s essay. If you’re interested in sponsoring a student and starting a pen pal, we’re happy to make that happen! Send me an email at saragoff@saragoff.com. Thank you!
