Moi Nyatike Boys hih school where I managed a grade of B plane [65 points} but I failed to get admission into a public universsity here in kenya. I later repeated at Joyland Special Secondary Schiool in Kisumu by the virtue of a god samaritan and managed to get a mean grade of B+ of 73 points in 2009 Kenya Certificate of secondary examinations.I have secured a chance at MOi University in Environmental Health. Am kindly requesting the organisation to reconsider me as one of their sponsored students so as to persue my studies at a higher level of learning.I fully appreaciate your support and believe in your potential to transform the life of needy childrem.
