Teddy: A School President and Aspiring Engineer

My name is Teddy, and I’m in ninth grade. I consider myself bold and confident, always eager to embrace new experiences. Trying new things is an important part of growing up. I enjoy the thrill of playing football with friends and love taekwondo because it challenges me physically. 

Recently I was elected to serve as school president. In this role, I take pride in supporting my fellow students and acting as a bridge between them and the administration. This leadership position has significantly enhanced my communication and teamwork skills. 

In the future, I aspire to be a mechanical engineer because I love building things and understanding how they operate. I have a strong interest in creating machines. Attending the NRCF STEM camp, especially the robotics program, was an amazing experience that greatly encouraged and strengthened my engineering passion.

The Ngong Road Children’s Foundation has provided me with more than just an education; they have inspired me to believe in my potential as a leader and a future engineer. With their support, my aspirations feel achievable. I am determined to use my skills to build a better future for myself and my community. My life is proof that encouragement and opportunity can transform a student’s life. I look forward to the day when I can apply my engineering knowledge to make a meaningful impact.

NRCF Founder And Sponsors Visit Kenya

Our Founder and President, Paula Meyer, recently visited us in Kenya, accompanied by a group of generous sponsors. Their trip focused on engaging with the children we support, observing the impact of our programs in Kenya, and discussing our plans for the exciting future of NRCF.

Paula engaged with our dedicated staff and leadership team to discuss the foundation’s five-year plan to support 1,000 children by the year 2030 and reviewed strategies for sustainable growth. They discussed various strategies to amplify our impact and extend our support to help more children in need.

The sponsors met with current students and alumni who shared their success stories and expressed gratitude for the transformative support of the NRCF and our impact in Kenya. They created lasting memories by sharing lunch and shopping trips with their sponsored students. They also joined our Saturday Child Development  Programme where they laughed, played games, and built connections with the children. Additionally, they visited the homes of some beneficiaries to meet their families.

During the trip, Paula and the sponsors also got to experience the beauty of Kenya. They visited the Giraffe Center to interact with the gentle giants, the Elephant Orphanage to see baby elephants and the historic home of Karen Blixen. They also enjoyed thrilling safaris in national parks like Amboseli, Samburu, and Maasai Mara, hoping to see amazing wildlife.

Mildred, An Aspiring Pediatrician

My name is Mildred. I am 15 years old, and my hobby is drawing because it’s an escape from reality, where imagination comes to life. It’s a way to express emotions, pay attention to detail, and find solace in solitude. My favorite sports are volleyball and football.

I am in Form 1 studying at Kijabe Girls High School. I am currently the class monitor and my work is to maintain order, communicate with teachers, and represent the class. My favorite subjects are Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. because they are fascinated by the natural world and how it works. Exploring biology, chemistry, and physics can provide a deep understanding of the universe, from the smallest cells to the vast cosmos.

I aspire to be a pediatrician because, ever since I was little, I’ve been fascinated by doctors and how they help people get better. I especially love seeing kids smile and feel better after a visit to the doctor. I want to be a pediatrician to help kids grow healthy and happy, just like my role model, Dr. Benjamin Spock. I’ll be able to teach their parents how to keep them safe and healthy,

I want to travel to Kos, Greece in the future. The birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, must be on every doctor’s bucket list of travel destinations. The island, approximately 112 square miles in size, has ancient monuments, beautiful beaches, and a rich history. The Asklepion sanatorium, built in the 4th century, is the most renowned site in Kos, featuring thermal baths and an intricate piping system that ensures a steady supply of clean spring water.
