A Second Chance Brings Joy

John Keshe shared with us today some wonderful news about one of the KCEA students , Josphine. Josphine's life-opportunities have now been transformed by her hard work during a repeat final year of secondary school.

John says today: "I am so happy to report that Josphine a student who repeated a class last year through Anne and Keith's generous support took the first position in olkiriane secondary class of 2023.  How wonderful life is being change now she would get an opportunity to join the university as has been her dream"

Here are a few of the details.  Josphine's life was in a much different place just one year ago.   She had long aspired to excel in school and to go to university to train as a lawyer.  However, her standardized test scores at the end of secondary school last year (2022) were way below her expectations (and too low to go on for training in law); her dream of training to be a lawyer seemed doomed,

But Josphine believed she could do better. She appealed to John Keshe and wrote a letter to her sponsors explaining why she believed she should repeat her final year, and retake the exam.  She explained the factors that contributed to her poor performance (including some disruptions at school and lost education during COVID).  John Keshe counseled KCEA (and her sponsors) to provide this second chance, since he had seen Josephine's academic potential and observed that "she did a uniformly wonderful job teaching both current secondary students and upper primary students [in the Interyear classes that KCEA ran in Dec 2022]".  So her sponsors supported Josphine to repeat a year.  She worked hard and placed first among her school peers in the standardized exams in 2023.  That outcome qualifies her acceptance at University to study law.

This is a wonderful success to celebrate.  We could all learn from Josphine.

(By the way, we are sorry it's been so long since we posted.  We hope to write more soon.)
