My name is Mirriam and I’m a 10-year-old girl in the fourth grade. I have two hobbies that I love: dancing and art. I joined the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation in 2023 and I am currently enrolled in the Nelson Mandela Academy, where I am thriving academically and learning many new things.
During my free time, I love spending time with my friends in school, where we study, play, and have fun together. My favorite sport is athletics, and I am particularly passionate about running. I always look forward to Saturdays when I can participate in sports activities, learn new art skills, enjoy a delicious meal, and catch up with my friends.
One person who inspires me is Charles Richard Drew, an American surgeon and medical researcher who made significant contributions to blood transfusions. I admire his dedication and contribution to the medical field, particularly how he developed improved blood storage techniques and applied his expert knowledge to develop large-scale blood banks early in World War II.
To improve my academic skills, I use the Elimu Hub. I attend computer classes once a week, which I find thrilling as I am improving my computer skills. I also enjoy reading books from the platform, which have helped me improve my English language skills. I am grateful for the support the program is giving me and I will continue to work hard and make my sponsor proud as well as myself.
