Hi, my name is Cyrus Waweru one of the boy in Sunshine Home. First and foremost is to thank The almighty God for giving me this opportunity to write to you and inform of my progress which is my joyous moment and I am very grateful to God and our mum and dad Martin and Mary Print who took us from the street, gave us food, clothes and shelter so that we could no longer wear those tattered clothes, eat from garbage or sleep outside in the streets any more. May God bless you abundantly and anyone who has provided his time, money or anything for our progress - something that gave me second chance in life and most of all hope despite not having my parents who are already passed away. Now I have Martin and Mary who are my parents.
Since I was taken in Sunshine Home in the year 2004, I had an opportunity to go to school where I started in class five in primary school where I did very well and managed to join high school. In high school I worked very hard an managed to score a grade which gave me an opportunity to be enrolled in Mount Kenya university that was last year on September where I first did a bridging course in mathematics of which I did very well where now I am continuing with my studies as I pursue a degree in course in Bachelors in Business and information technology.
I am very grateful and happy being in school where apart from school work I involve myself in co-curriculum activities such as swimming and playing rugby and also I'm having opportunity to associate with other people which was very difficult while I was in the streets without a purpose in life. I'm very grateful to Sunshine Home which is my home now a place where encouragement comes from and gives me the strength to work very hard so that one day I will be able to help those who are unfortunate like to have an opportunity like the one I have and make proud everyone who have contributed and dedicated themselves for my progress and success in the future.
Right now I am in my second semester in the university and is my
prayer that God will continue to those who are providing my school fees so that
I will be able to finish my four years term in the university.
May God bless anyone who is giving anything to support sunshine
home so that me and my fellow brothers can have a bright future which we had
never thought of while we were in the streets
God bless you all.
Regards to all.
Cyrus
