I was born in November 24th, 1988 and was raised at Eastland’s, Jericho estate, as the fifth born in a family of 12. I joined Ofafa Jericho primary school in 1994 and after completing my KCPE in 2003; I joined Dagoretti High school and cleared my form 4 in 2007. Soon after I joined Daystar University and did a short course on editing skills which landed me as an intern in Daystar in the research and publications department, as a research assistant as they were publishing a book for Nairobi Baptist when they were celebrating 50 years.
All this time my main issues was school fees regarding that in high school its only in form 1 that I was not sent home because of fee balances.
My main goal after my education is to engage myself in charity. In my 3 years in Daystar Athi River campus I have done charity events namely:
No bread: this is a charity event that we were doing twice every year to help students who could not get food to eat
Daystar resource mobilization event: this was an event that was organized by Daystar University to mobilize money for students who were not able to get school fees. I was the mc for the Sunday part as the event was running the whole weekend stating from Friday.
Duremo concerts: I was among the organizing team for the DUREMO (daystar university resource mobilization) a students’ initiative to help our own people who were struggling with school fees
With this I have been and will always want to engage into helping people and God willing I am planning to pursue a master’s degree in peace and conflict management.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION:
Daystar University – 4th year, graduating 2013
Sponsor: self-sponsored
Since the time I joined Daystar University I have not had a permanent job, I have been doing businesses. Selling clothes, performing comedy, being a middleman being hired in video shoots, and all this money going to my school fees. In 2012 I got a job as a comedy creative director with Protel Studios ltd where after doing the job for 4 months it just ended prematurely and I was forced to go back to the businesses that I was doing. By the time my job ended I had a fee balance of ksh101, 000 that I did not manage to clear. When I came this semester, my invoice was reading ksh98, 000 which I have not been able to raise too. In effect to this my friends and I planned to do a fundraising on the 28th of April 2013 and managed to raise ksh20,000 only. Am hereby taking this opportunity to ask if you can assist in any way for me to be able to get through my education
