Sonia teaching students at the Kalikiliki Literacy Project |
Completing high school was so exciting. I couldn’t wait for the day, but it finally
came. Most people, pupils rather, at my
school were looking forward to being in society and forget about all the
pressure which comes from school, like getting up early and doing all of our
assignments.
A lot of my friends were talking about the plans they had
for their gap year. This included
finding jobs, doing computer courses, and some talked about going somewhere on
vacation. Well, for me it was a whole
different story. With the help of the
Kucetekela Foundation, my two friends Abram and Japhet and I decided to
continue the literacy project we started while we were still in school. This project is based in Kalikiliki
compound. Many thought it was not a good
idea, but it’s actually awesome to help out in the community. At first we had difficulties with
accommodation, but thanks a million times to KF and Egmont Trust for paying for
rent at the new building where I teach the kids from.
Being a graduate is both exciting and challenging, so make
the right choices for your gap year!
