USING OUR TALENTS TO CHANGE OUR FUTURE SOCIETY

My name is Judith Akoth i am writing of unfriendly circumstances through which robbery of life on parts of both my parents forced itself many years ago when i was still young. I was forced to put up with my grandparents who brought me up.They took me to school and after sitting for my o level exams i got a B- but my grandmother died later in 2005. I was left with my grandfather who was blind and bedridden.I have stayed at home since my fourth form exam due to lack of fees.In 2010 i decided to volunteer as a caretaker of orphans and vulnerable  kids at Upendo children home.This is due to the horrifying circumstances i underwent.We restored hope in many lives of young orphans.I have also decided to pursue a diploma in community development and social work so as to have more knowledge and skills in handling the vulnerable.
