A journey to engineering inspired by Nikola Tesla

A journey to engineering inspired by Nikola Tesla

My name is Anderson, I am 18 years old, and I live with my parents and brother. My role model is Nikola Tesla a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electrical system. He also developed the Tesla coil and the induction motor.

life skills training

In my free time, I enjoy drawing and IT. Drawing holds a special place in my heart as it allows me to express my imagination. I recently graduated from high school and plan to pursue electrical engineering and IT because of my skills in electrical installations and cabling.

Currently, the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation is holding a life skills training program that is truly life-changing. We are being taught how to write CVs, improve our communication skills, and learn about the latest trends in job searching, which is mind-blowing. I am excited every time I get to share these life-changing lessons with my schoolmates and friends at home.

I consider myself a confident and courageous person, and I believe I’m empathetic towards others. One of my biggest dreams is to visit the United States of America someday and hopefully meet my sponsor who has been at the forefront of my transformational journey.

Transform a life today.
